Does this sound like ALS, so scared

[mgd1996]

I am a 28 year old female.
10 weeks ago now the flu went through our house and since then I haven't felt the same. It was day 3 of having the flu I all of a sudden got the hot and cold sweats and felt like I was going to pass out. My lower legs felt really cold and tight. Since then my lower legs have felt really tight and within the last month they have started twitching all day everyday, I notice it especially when on the couch or in bed. I have also been getting random twitches in my upper legs, butt, back, arms, neck, under eyelid, lips and now my tongue (unsure if it's tingling or twitching). I also get these random buzzing feelings in my legs. All my blood vessels in my body are also very noticeable and ache quite often?

Since then I have noticed my left quad looks thinner just above the knee and the side of my left foot aches/hurts. My left arm/wrist also feels thinner but these twitches are scaring the hell out of me and I'm now fearing I have ALS.

I have had a heap of blood tests which all came back normal and brain and spine MRI which came back normal.

Would you get all these symptoms at once and so quickly? If someone could please shed some light that would be great as I'm sending myself into such a state and barely sleeping.

I’m just so worried as I feel each day when I wake up my left arm and leg feel skinner then the day before, my left arm feels like just skin and bone.

It doesn’t sound like ALS as you have been told. Post viral syndromes can be quite severe and take a long time to recover. Please continue to work with your doctor about yourhysocal symptoms and be sure to tell them about your emotional distress
