Hey guys first of all thank you for your time, I'll try to be brief.
For the past couple of months I've been having a few symptoms come out of the blue one after the other and I find myself asking if it could be ALS.
Past December I noticed I was going more often to pee , I went to the Dr and they ran blood and urine and found nothing wrong. I decided this was just they way my bladder worked now and moved on.
Then 3 months ago I start feeling pulsations in my stomach and stomach pain. This lasted about a month and then got a feces test that came back normal.
Then a month ago one of my arms "fell asleep" almost completely for a week. I could move it with mild discomfort and pain but it felt numb. With time this got slowly better and now only my pinky is asleep most of the time.
Also about a month ago I started feeling twitches in my left leg and public area, I thought nothing of them until my leg suddenly got cramped and a bit painful a day ago and now feels weird. Can't explain exactly but the upper inner tight feels like pressured and is uncomfortable to move.
Another thing I've been experience is a sort of fluid build up in my mouth as if my brain is forgetting to swallow my saliva and I experience some discomfort breathing but this two symptoms come and go.
I know all this things I should talk with a doctor but with covid being seen by a professional where I live is next to impossible and reading up some symptoms seem to point at early ALS.
Realistically I know this might all bee anxiety due to covid plus a lot less movement in the past few months, also due to covid, but I can't shake the feeling something is wrong. I know at my age is a very rare occurrence but my dad died of a rare dicease he got 10 years before the previous youngest patient in the world (yes that rare) so I know first hand is not impossible.
I appreciate any comments or knowledge you guys can share , thank you in advance.
