Hello my name is Mike i am a 34 year old male. I have been reviewing this site for about a week and think it is great. I am conscerned that i might have als or bfs but cannot distinguish the difference even after reviewing all the posts. I started having numbing sensations in the back of my arms about 2 months ago and weak or tired neck muscles about 4 months ago that would come and go. About 3 weeks ago I noticed fatigue in my right arm. All the while being overly tired. I went to my pcp and he did an ultra sound thinking maybe thyroid probs but that came back ok. The problems magnified over the last 3 weeks starting with muscle fascs and continued fatigue on my right arm and leg. Most of the fascs are on the right side and eye twitch right side also that started 2 weeks ago. About 2 weeks ago i went to 2 neuros 1 of which did blood work that was o.k. They both did strength test and said was normal. However i have noticed within the last week that my right leg feels like is weaker and have sporadic pains from ankle to calf back to glute muscle. The ankle is like a mild sprain and the longer i stand the worse it feels. I am very athletic so this is really mind boggling. I did play basketball aprox 1 week and 1/2 ago and was able to play normal but have felt progressivly worse since. And yes I do have anxiety and have researched these symptoms thoroughly all of which seem to shoot me back here. HOPE YOU DONT THINK I AM WASTING YOUR TIME. I have the upmost respect for all of you who are suffering from this disease and just would like some feedback. Thank you
