I'm 31 years old male and two and a half years ago started my journey to this health situation.
I visited 4 neuro doctor and excpet one who finded a little weaknes in one leg muscle (due to lack of exercise ,he said) all clinical tests was OK.
I had a clear brain and neck MRI and also clear bloodworks.
I had also two EMGs in two arms and legs :
The first one showed possible damage at interior horn but the doctors did not agree with the way of the guy in diagnostic center did it cause he didn't put me needles...So all the doctors told me that this EMG is useless.
The second one shows :
Notes : mild hypertonia - sparse large motor units in both both triceps.
Conclusion : EMG without abnormalities
All the neuros agree that i had some kind of anxious somatomoform disorder.
My mind is stuck on ALS and i never go to psychotherapist for this.
All these years my symptoms get worse and worse and right now i feel more weaker than ever,i have swallowing issues,slurred speech and my muscles are stiff and twitching even my facial and tongue,needles and pins,my neck shakes when i'm standing motionless and all these neuromuscular symptoms.
But the most worrying symptom for me is the shortness of breath,especially at night.
Today i have an appointment with my neuro again after two years.
If the clinical test will be clear should i worry for als or it is time to get psychotherapy?
Wish me luck...
