Hi,
I developed tremor in my thumb on my left hand. Then I started twitching all over my body, but lately is more localized in my whole left arm, mostly shoulder, biceps, thenar, upper back. Sometimes twitches happen while muscles are relaxed, but sometimes stretching and movement of muscles trigger these fascicullations. I also experience numbing pain from shoulder blade to my whole left arm and it feels like it's coming from the neck. I feel weak in my left arm but I can lift it above my head and my pincer grasp is also good so far. But from time to time I experience difficulties with some activities where I have to lift and rotate this arm. What concerns me the most is that I think my thenar muscle started to atrophy. It's very obvious when I compare it to the other hand. I am scared of ALS because my grandfather died of it. But it's true that I also have serious health anxiety. Thank you for any answers.
Can somebody answer me please? I don't want by any means to waste your time, but I am so scared and I am crying every day. I really appreciate this forum exists and that you all are being very helpful even with what's going on in your lives. Due to pandemic my appointment with neurologist is still far and my thoughts are more and more irrational. Thank you very much.
