Hi There and thanks for reading my post,
I have been searching online for information on my current symptoms and it keeps coming up ALS… I have a few questions that I hoping the forum will give answers too.
About 4 months ago I noticed I had weakness in Both my hands. I found it hard to things like put keys in locks or tie my shoes. To this day, there is still weakness but I feel it has improved by about 50-75%.
About a month ago I noticed my left arm has started twitching non stop from my tricep area all the way through forearm to my thumb. It is non stop happening every 2-3 seconds.
I went to my GP and he has referred me to a neurologist, but in Canada it will take some time to see them.
With ALS is it possible to have weakness in both your hands right away ?
Can weakness come and go with ALS?
How concerned should I be with the non stop twitching in one arm?
Is there any Canadians (British Columbia) on here that can estimate how long it took them to get their first neurologist appointment?
Thanks in advance to anyone that responds to this thread.
