Good morning all,
im hear searching for help hoping that im beating myself up for no reason. A little about me, 39 year old male, husband, father of two little ones, generally healthy, will admit that ive battled health anxiety in the past. i have read the stickys and cruised through the forums for some time now. i want to tell myself its mental but the symptoms are there and very real.
Started a few weeks ago i woke up and legs felt off. not like heavy or something just like they were over worked even tho i just sat on my butt the day before. later that night me and the wife watching a movie and my right thigh starts going nuts. twitching it happens to everyone. cruised google for a minute and realized what ive done. tried to ignore it but it was just so persistent. fast forward a few weeks maybe a month and my symptom's are as followed
widespread twitching( mostly quick little twitches all over that subside very quickly) sometimes it will kick a limb out a little.
calf cramping on both calves. i would call it mild cramping
twitching on right thigh has left and moved to my right calf. feels like popping popcorn in there. right side calf cramping is worse and more constant than left side.
i have no clinical weakness that ive noticed.
been dropping things(but ive always been clumsy and uncoordinated)
the last symptom that made me post here is this morning i woke up and on my right 2 fingers were curled down on there own and took me a moment to get them back to normal. they feel fine now.
i went to my GP monday and talked to him and he prescribe me anti inflammatory and muscle relaxer. i brought up ALS and he ignored it. would not refer me to a nuero. i just cant shake this and im out of tune with my family because this is non stop on my mind. any opinions or help on this is greatly appreciated. im sorry to bug all of yall that have real problems to try and help me.
