First off, I just wanted to echo what others have said about this community. Having a place to have these difficult conversations is inspirational.
A bit of background, I am a 30/M. I do have high blood pressure, but other than that I do not have any underlying health conditions.
My symptoms started out roughly six weeks ago with muscle cramping/twitching in my legs and arms. They lasted a few weeks but have for the most part subsided. I then thought all was good with no cause for concern.
Flash forward a few weeks and various symptoms have emerged. First, I've had fatigue like I have never had before. I have had arm/wrist/hand weakness and soreness. My entire right side just feels weak/sore in a way that I have never experienced before. I don't have the energy to lift anything up.
For those that can chime in, are these early symptoms of ALS? Would symptoms come on this suddenly? I am extremely worried right now (to the point I can't focus on anything) and could use any/all advise.
Thank you in advance for any help this community can provide.
