Hi there, long time lurker, first-time poster. I am writing because I have symptoms that I feel can't be ignored anymore. I will list them as succinctly as possible:
1. My right arm from my shoulder down to the fingers feels weaker, my grip is weaker. I can still do things like push-ups, and lift weights, but holding my arm out if I am scrolling on the phone or brushing my hair or typing is more difficult and fatigues extremely quickly.
2. The left side of my neck feels weak, as if it can't support my head, but this sensation comes and goes.
3. The weirdest symptom appeared about two years ago. My calf on the left side has atrophied, it has a huge dent in it as if something has taken a bite out of it. I have been to countless medical doctors, none of which could give me a reason why outside of, you have a flat foot. I have noticed muscle changes (hesitant to put atrophy around both knees but predominately my right.
4. I do have twitches all over my body, and I do think they are worse when I have anxiety.
Thanks for any advice you can provide.
