Hi to all
The past 3 months of my life have been living hell! It all started with me going to my OB dr and having my IUD taken out because I was having some kind of weird vibration feeling in that area. I never told her that was the reason but that I just wanted it out. I was also dealing with a little bit of baby blues and she referred me to my GP. My GP dr prescribed me Prozac. I took the pills for 5-6 days and they made my symptoms of depression almost unbearable. It shot my anxiety problems though the roof. I couldn't take care of my 10 month old son, eat, sleep, it was horrible. I went back and she then prescribed me Zoloft. I took that because that was supposed to be not as strong as the Prozac. Again it did the same thing. It took my a good 2-3 weeks to get my anxiety under control. My dr also prescribed me Klonopin.5mg. at night time to sleep. That seems to help with my sleep and anxiety.
Somewhere in between all this I noticed the vibrations that were in my pelvic area were now spreading into hip, legs , feet, arms, neck. Now I still have the vibrations but I'm having twitches everywhere. I really get them in my right hand. I can see and feel them. I also get them in the arches of my feet. My right arm feels like there is a blood pressure cuff on it all the time. Its hard sometimes to hold my arm up. Its hard to carry my son around. Just this morning I woke up and the top of my middle finger up to my elbow aches, cramps. I also feel a pulling sensation on my jaw and down my neck. I get Pins and needles feeling in my hands and my feet . I have no energy and everything I do feels like a struggle.
About a month ago I went to see a Nero. He performed clinical tests on me, did a EMG, and some blood work. All came back normal.
My question is was it to soon to go and see him for this testing? I was only having these symptoms for about 4-5 weeks. when I seen him. Since then I have gotten weaker in my right arm and leg.
Can an EMG detect ALS that earily on? Can an EMG pick up abnormalities even if your not "twitching" at the time?
Does this sound like ALS? Any input would be appricieted.
P.S. My Nero told my that I have a condition called BFS. For some reason I'm having a hard time believing this. My conditions are just getting worse.
