I kind of feel guilty bothering you good people with my worries. Everyone on this site is so amazing. I have written in once before, but have been just reading for a while now.
I am getting so scared because my fasciculations, which started out all over my body, are now only occuring on my right rib cage (lats). They stay for hours. When I called my neuro. he still wants me to wait and see before doing an EMG. He is reccomending one more month. I also have sore muscles in my left arm/hand all the time. Especilly when overused. (I carry aroune my 33 pound 3&1/2 yr old too much).
Just recently my voice will go hoarse at the end of the day and sometimes when I chew food, my left cheekbone feels kind of numb. Of course I'm worried now about bulbar onset. Is this an early sign?
I am a 35yr old mother of two, and I know statistically It would be rare for me to have ALS, but I can't stop feeling this way. The focal fasiculations are really worrysome.
I am going to call back to the neuro. Monday to schedule the EMG ASAP.
I wonder if he wants to delay the test in hopes of a more accurate result with more advanced symptoms.
If something is wrong, I think finding out would be better than constatly worrying.
I would appreciate anyones thoughts. Thank you so much for your time,
Darla
