i have some questions concerning muscle weakness and slurred speach and fasciculations. what is weakness in als like u start to have trouble walking and the infected part just cant move like it used to or is it a shaky feeling like your legs shake. and the slurred speach is it very noticeable or is it just harder to talk or does your tounge hurt. and if fasciculations are the first sign of als how long after they start do you start to see more symptoms such as weakness or atrophy. the reason im asking these questions is im tryin to gain more knowledge about this disease because im still really scared abut this because my fasciculations still have not stoped or even got better they move 24/7 and u can see them all day and my localized fascics never stop they are there all day with no lettin up. please i need these questions answerd im about to lose my job because i cant work right cuz this is non-stop. and i also have been having shaky legs and shaky hands but i dont think i have lost any strength in them. please answer my questions i need them answerd i need to know more about this disease from the people who actually have it
