Hey guys! Let me start by saying how awesome you are, both with the info you provide and your supportive spirits!
My doctor mentioned ALS to me after telling him my symptoms. I am just starting to go for all the fun tests and such but am worried it may be als. I am only 28.
I know everyones symptoms are different but if I could get an opinion, I would really appreciate it.
Heres my symptoms...very sore feet, especially in the morning. Extreme pain in my right shoulder (only periodically, it comes and goes). Pain, almost a stiffness in my right wrist and hand (again periodically). The pain seems to start with a pins a needles sensation, then becomes stiff. Small muscle "jumps" in legs, arms and face. Sore throat, almost like a lump when swallowing.
Does this sound like ALS to anyone? Any other possible options? Sorry to bother you and I wish you all the absolute best.....probably heard this before..but...keep in good spirits. There will be a cure for this some day. In the meantime, your awesome bravery, and even sense of humour (as I have seen in this forum), will take you a long long way!
Thanks again!
