Hello Guys! I admire you all. You are brave people who can understand life better than the vast majority of people.
I'm Brazilian, 23 years old male. I started having pain and a minor weakness in my right arm 15 days ago, and googled my symptom until reach this disease. When i saw "fasciculations" as a symptom , i dont know if i started to feeling this or if i already had this and didn't notice. Being a very anxious person i looked for a neurologist. He laughed at me and told me to stop worrying about silly things. he did some tests and told me I was suffering from anxiety. He scheduled an EMG from the superior members that i dit it yesterday and all results were normal. The curious fact that the exam didn't acuse any fasciculation, althought i have fasciculations not so many but i have!
When i were playing football yesterday i felt a "lump" in the throat that passed away after some minutes and i started to being nervous and the lump came back. I searched a lot of this disease on google and this could maybe realize imaginary symptoms, i really wish it was.
My arm stop to being weak, but i stiil fell fasciculations and a lump in the throat. I dont have problems to swallow and to speech.
I'm very scared and stopped to living my life. Sorry for my bad english. I really wish peace for all the people who's suffers this disease, i pretend to help with als foundations. The panic to think suffering this disease really opened my eyes.
