Greetings everyone, first please forgive my poor English, i am from Hong Kong. :smile:
I've been keep looking any solution in recent years from online, but after many and many paper i read, i am curious am i really having ALS?
First i am 21 years old right now, around 6years ago i found the muscle near thumb were very thin. Around 1years ago, my foot was getting weaken, shank's muscle turns to thinner, but not completely recession. Also I can feel those muscles shaking while i shrink my toe. Foot is not much power on raise, having footdrop right now. Hands have a very little sharking.
My elite brother had the same symptoms. He's 24 years old right now. Having same symptoms from similar age (around 14-16). But his shank’s muscle not sharking while toe shrinking. His shank's muscles were already recessed, completely no power raising foot. Need to use a “Plastic foot rack” hold his legs and foots in 90 degree assist for walking.
Nerve test shows that right legs nerve have degradation.
Doctor was doubted that is ALS during my elite brother diagnosis. For me, there is no conclusion is that ALS or others, might be similar to my elite brother. There is not such disease happened in my family history.
I searched and it said ALS is a brain problem, the brain doesn't know to control the muscles, but I didn’t found any sources said that the nerves will be damaged. So me and my brother are having ALS or not? =(
