Hi Community,
I would like to start with quick summary;
April 2022: Felt heavy tingling on right arm and middle finger moving during the day, right hand.
April 2022:1st Doctor Visit Result: low vitamin D and B12
May 2022: 2nd Doctor Visit Result: Neurology, all good with physical examination, MRI scan is clear
---Symptoms get worse---
July 2022: 3rd Doctor Visit: Another Neurology, all good with physical examination, blood test came good, new MRI from spide and belt, EMG (he probably put that needle 40 times around the body)
Doctor said: You do not have ALS or motor sickness. Looks like fibromyalgia but not ALS
He also said: you are in the loop of a fear and I need to give you pill to break this cycle. it is low level anti-anxiety pill, use 1 month and call me
August 2022: I called him and told i dont see any improvement and he changed the pill
November 2022: all my pains passed, I feel way better and ALS doesn't even come to my mind.
February 2023: Almost a year passed and I started to have some pain on the right arm. Let me add something here, January 2023 I stopped the pills as I was told by doctor
I had some really powerful pains on the right hand where i marked. I didn't want to pay attention and I did. I understand human body is not symmetrical and I am super fine with this. However, when I check my hand where I felt the pain this is what I see. More wrinkles and less muscle.
According to my timeline, I had EMG exactly 3 months later after my first pain in right arm.
