I know that because of the frequency of my posts many of you are thinking I'm off the edge, but I just want to tell you it helps me.
It seems that all are telling me that I do not have ALS however my symptoms are real to me and the medical process moves slow and there is a lot of time in between to think about what my body is going thru.
I got advice from a freind to try to power thru my feeling of weakness and see what happens.
So I got up this morning got dressed and walked my dog. My thought was to go for as lng as I could before I get too tired. T my surprise I did the whole 2 mile walk.
After my legs were tight but almost not twitches while I was resting. I have been on my legs all day and am a bit tired but again only a couple of bubbling twitches that do not repeat. I just have this feeling of tightness around my thighs.
That the good news. Now I am resting and I get this feeling that something is blocking my breathing and I can't cough it out despite I keep trying.
I am also feeling a numbness in my cheeks and gums almost like mild Novocain.
I play Wii video game with my nephew and after my arms are tight with a burn feeling.
I look at my tongue in the mirror and see a minor indentation in the front so now I link that to the cough and breathing issue. I am not slurring food seems to go down and I am not drooling
This now got me anxious.
Every morning I wake hoping that these symptoms go away but they do not, and waiting a week to see a doc then do a test and wait a week to get results that are inconclusive is driving me crazy.
Any input on this numbness in the face?
