I’m so sorry to be posting here, I just feel so nervous and can’t get into the neuro for a few months. Thank you for taking time to read this.
I have had muscle weak in my right arm since November to the point it’s hard to lift my arm to brush my hair. I now have it in my left arm as well, also in my knees. They feel like they are going to buckle.
I have muscle twitches in my left leg and they are now spreading all over my body. They are constant and don’t stop.
My jaw is SO sore and it’s hard to chew. I’ve only been eating soft foods. Also I had a day where I was unable to swallow.
Another thing is breathing is very difficult for me. I can barely walk up a flight if stairs and I’m completely out of breath.
This morning I tried to grib my bedcover to pull over me, and was unable to do so.
All these symptoms have shown up in the last three months. Does it sound like ALS to you? Thank you so much for taking time to help me.
