Hello everyone,
I've been driving myself insane the last four weeks thinking that I may have ALS.
It started with constanding twitiching in both triceps, and my left hand webbing (b/w thumb & index finger) began cramping and kind of pulling in toward my palm. So of course... i google and next thing you know I'm doing all sorts of strength tests (i.e. twisting the cap off of the white out bottle). I went to my family doc and he said he did see some atrophy (which scared me) and he referred me to a neurologist. Yesterday, my right hand started to cramp and my thumb and back of my hand began to have on and off stiffness.
My appointment isn't for two weeks so the anxiety will probably tear me apart by then, but I figured I would share my symptoms to see if anyone has experienced the same things.
Thank you for any response.
