Hi everyone,
First of all thank you for taking the time to answer my concerns. I have been very worried these past few months with whats been happening to my body. I am looking for perspective and reassurance so once again thank you for taking the time to help me. I will list my symptoms below.
-5 months ago it began with pain all over my body, radiating from my joints. Also pain in my eyes.
- progressed to continuous (i mean non stop) muscle spasms on both my calves. At times the spasms seem to move up my legs but are generally always on my calves. I sometimes feel them on my feet. I can get random twitches all over my body.
- clicking of my ankles, knees and wrists.
-after exercise my symptoms become worse accompanied by pain. My lower back is in pain that carries down to my legs
- My legs at times feel tired and heavy from the pain, spams and cramping
- random pins and needles all over my body
- at times my voice seems to go. I have to clear my throat in order to continue
As a mother of two toddlers I am concerned. I don't know whats happening to my body. My doctor is sending me for an EMG and I am nervous about it.
My question, does this sound like ALS?
Once again I appreciate your time and attention. Blessings to all of you.
My apologies, I forgot to mention I also have numbness and tingling of my right toe. This numbness seems to sometimes carry to the rest of my leg. There is at times also a slight burning sensation on my arm....
Again thank you for your time.
