Good morning. I have had slightly noticeable reduction in mass in my thumb and forefinger on my left hand (Not dominant hand). I also have a dragging sensation down the thumb and forefinger. I was trying to ignore and telling myself that my thumb and finger were probably always smaller than the other hand but a week ago the muscle jumping started and has not stopped (although not constantly). At this stage I started my Dr Google search and as a result here I am. I hope you don’t mind asking the following. Can ALS start with slight atrophy and muscle jumping before weakness or failure? Or does atrophy only happen after weakness. Thanks for your time
