Lots of Symptoms

[krisjacob]

I am so young and I am extremely worried about ALS. I just need to know if I should be worried. I have twitching that jumps all over my body all day and is mainly in my right leg. All I have to do is stick out my hand and it's shaking. I am starting to feel a loss of balance and clumsiness. Could these be the early early signs if its been going on for two months ? I know ALS isn't you can lift something one day then not the other. Please help. I had an EMG yesterday on my legs and it was fine but I feel it is too early to tell and I still believe I have ALS.

The fact that my hands are now trembling and are effecting my typing makes me believe I need an EMG of the hands. What do you think?

also cramping bad in my right leg

Nothing there says ALS to me, and the EMG confirms it. An EMG would pick up denervation long before you saw symptoms. You might want to visit with your Dr about anxiety.

Can the EMG confirm it even if it was just the legs?

The EMG would have caught it. You're clear.

You don't have ALS.
