Hello guys. Im very sorry for coming back. I really felt that i belong here. And if it turns out that it is really ALS. I need your advice on how to deal with it.
I have seen slight atrophy on my hands or does it really indicate atrophy? I will attached it here. Regarding my swallowing issues. It is really getting worse that its like paralyzed down there that it doesnt cooperate when i initiate a swallow esp. when swallowing saliva or nothing at all. My tongue, when i stick it out, its like shaking esp. at the tip. I always experienced twitching all over the body but my legs and feet are the most frequent to twitch. I have slight muscle cramps. My neck and shoulders, its aching everyday. Like muscle strain. My shin, very annoying. I know pain points away from ALS but others also feel pain. I dont want to conclude but seems its getting closer to it. I just enjoy my life like theres no tomorrow.
I already done visiting an internal medicine doctor and she ordered me tests. And it all came back normal. Vitamin Deficiencies, hypothyroidism amd myositis. Now, the only thing left is to have EMG/NCS and cervical spine MRI.
