Hi everyone.
I'm concerned about my ongoing symptoms.
my fasciculations happened a couple of months ago and progressively fire off in all parts of my body, especially my tongue and abdomen. They are very visible when my tongue is in my mouth at rest.
Ive woken up in the middle of the night on many occasions unable to move or lift my left arm properly for a couple of minutes. When I try to move it, my forearm goes in all sorts of directions (apart from the way I want it to) then it seems to subside (is this spasticity?) my fingers cannot be bent on the left hand too, it's happening more often and came on the same time as the twitches. it does go away for a while but then comes back often at night. I'm also waking up on a morning where i experience pain my ribcage when I breathe. I currently have no weakness apart from not been able to move my arm and fingers on occasion in the left side.
I've been referred to neurophysiologist but could this be ALS especially with the widespread fasciculations and potential spasticity?
