Hey everyone,
Sorry to roll a few eyes at the"do I have als question" but I'm a little bit worried and possibly over thinking everything but for the last 16 months I've had symptoms, my daughter was premature due to preclampsia and I was really ill. I have hyperreflexia I put it down to preclampsia but I still have it. I get occasional blurry vision. My left arm is very weak I find it hard to lift or grasp things and my left leg is also weak with nerve issues if I touch my foot I get a shooting pain at the back of my knee it's odd. My back and hips are severe and stiff and I find it hard to walk. I've had a mri for suspected ms but It came back clear but I'm waiting to see a neurologist so he may need to do more tests. I'm extremely fatigue but it's more in my brain like its shutting down is this a als symptom or is it nothing to worry about? I know I could still have ms but I fear als so I really need some reassurance on what the possibilitys are.
Thanks guys x
