Started going to eye care doc for follow up she suggested MG - went to neuro opto requested single fiber emg neg
Went to my regular doc told him what eye doc said and asked he order bunch a test. One of the test LRP4 came back positive.
Eye doc said doesn't mean much as of now but reading the internet and neuromuscular book it says LRP4 is related to ALS.
My symptoms are: muscle twitching, vibrating feeling in the calf, muscle twitching shoulder, arm and near the lips. Along with this I have weakness in both thigh when walking. Also, stiff fingers.
Doc said MG does not cause muscle twitching. I also get jaw pain from eating. No change in voice
Given a positive gene has anyone tested positive for this gene that has LRP4..
Please be honest do my symptoms sound like ALS?
The twitching came out of no where along and muscle weakness of both thigh. Also get sharp pain and burning sensation if I walk to too much.
Muscle twitching is visible that comes and goes mostly on left leg and sometimes I can feel a jerk in my toe or foot.
Thanks

To add twitching and vibrating in left leg is none stop. Other part of body comes and goes. Feel like a heart beat thumping.
Also fatigue is insane
