hi all really would appreciate some thoughts/feedback on my current state if you will. 30 year old female.
been feeling off for more then a few months, however, last month experienced a few days of twitching and numbness in my feet and legs. The numbness mostly in my feet and very concerning as they felt cold and devoid of feeling. Since this time period the twitches have not totally ceased but decreased in frequency. my hands have lost fine motor skill or coordination as noticed with typing, text messaging, opening jars, keys in doors, etc. My hands also have begun to "claw" appears to be muscle wasting on left hand as well as a permanent fasciculation (think that is what it is) on the pinky side of my hand. I feel weak and my calf muscles are tight plus a slight tremor in my hands. In addition, have had episodes only described as my body taking an involuntary breath of air. Super scary.
Anyway, as you can imagine im freaked out. Went to a neuro last week Thursday who noticed muscle atrophy in my left hand and left leg for sure and ordered an MRI for tomorrow.
Anyone have any thoughts?
