Hello. I am eighteen years old and have been concerned about the possibility of ALS. I hear it is rare in young people but does happen, nevertheless I am very ignorant on the topic and have a few questions. Firstly, is muscle fatigue or getting tired easily from doing certain activities (e.g. holding the phone for a few minutes) symptomatic of ALS? Does weakness precede fatigue, and if so should I be experiencing weakness?
I panicked slightly to see if I have experienced a loss in muscle mass (or an increase in weakness) so I began doing quite a bit of exercising (squats and pushups) and today my muscles are aching all over.
Thank you for taking the time to read my concerns. I understand I probably sound very naive and you guys probably get tons of paranoid people asking about their "symptoms", so I appreciate any feedback I get.
