Hello, I have read the stickies and I’m very sorry if I offended anyone here. I started having twitches on my right foot on Aug 31st for two days and they stopped afterwards. I also have some random twitches all over the body and my face. Then I’ve been experiencing some weakness on my right leg and right hand for several weeks. I googled my symptoms and went into the rabbit hole of fearing ALS. Then I went to my pcp who told me my strength was okay and I also read the stickies in this forum which is super helpful (thank you so much!!), and I was less worried and moved on. But, starting this Wednesday (9/21), I have been experiencing some fatigue when speaking and tired when saying some words. I don’t have twitches on my tongue but I’m worried about the tiredness and lisp when speaking. Not quite sure what slurred speech would sound like, but could anyone give me any advice on whether I shall contact my pcp again for this symptom? The pcp has tested my strength on hands, my feet, and my reflexes.
Thank you very much in advance for your help!
