Hello All,
First of all I would like to thank you all for reading and answearing to my thread. I was hasitating for a year to write anything, was just reading other threaths and seeking advices from docs. Didnt want to bother anyone before but after a year I dont know what to do. Just to be accurate I will write down everything.I know that not everything matches ALS but I wanted to be fully honest.
About two years ago I felt down from the stairs and hit my right side of the neck and face .
Time past and I felt that my right hand is heavy. Neurologist didnt notice anything and ordered the ct scan of my head and neck. Everything was ok.
About a year ago I had a very strestful period at my job and I started having dizziness, nauseas and the feeling that my legs and right arm is heavy. As docs thought I may have MS they ordered MRI of neck and head. They came up ok . My blood test and usg only showed that I have Thyroiditis with normal hormon levels.
Time past and all of the symptoms went away except of my right hand. It is heavy everyday for the past year and now I have less strength in it. I can do everything but it cost me more strength to pick up anything even smth light or cut smth. I dont have enough strength to pick up smth heavy with it but I can with my left hand. My hand muscles are ok just the right shoulder . I went to few neurologists, my neuro exams went fine. Reflexes ok, didnt have any pathological reflexes. They tested my nerves in ncs and were ok and also few muscles of my shoulder: deltoid, trapezius and biceps. Everything went ok just the technician during emg exam kept asking me to contract with less force my muscles but I was doing it with very little force as I can. Dont know what was wrong for him.
But the end results were described as ok, no spontaneous activity and the rest of parameters ok such amplitude, duration and area. I just dont know what to do know. Went to couple of neurologists, some of them said that this is neurosis so i was taking antidepresaints for a half of year, im suplementing vitamins. Some of them said it is my thyroidits but other denied as i have proper hormone levels.
If I would have als would it be shown in those few muscles of my right shoulder? Its harder for me to pick up light staff such as a pan but I still can. After I cut smth for a while I have to sit down and rest my arm as it feel tired as I was cleaning windows for an hour. Just to add one more thing I also noticed fasciculations on my whole body, legs, belly, shoulders. I really appreciate any advice and opinions.
