Hello,
I have been experiencing persistent twitching for about 6 weeks in my legs and feet, along with sporadic twitching in my shoulders and arms. In the last few days, my right hand has been feeling tired and weak(heavier, stiff, not as much flexibility). My question is around my perceived weakness. When someone has ALS, does the weakness literally just show up and you can move your hand anymore? Or would it show up similar to what I’m feeling in my hand? I don’t feel any weakness in my legs where the twitching has been but now that my hand is feeling this way it’s starting to get concerning. PCP ordered blood draw and referred me to a neuro.
thanks for your time !
