Hey everyone.
Wanted to start with a thank you to all the people taking the time to answer questions in this forum. It is incredible and I look up to each and every one of you.
My symptoms started about a year ago. When I would go running, I would notice pain and cramping in my right leg, soon to be followed by a painful "numbness" forcing me to stop running.
More recently, I noticed constant muscle twitching in the left leg that lasted for a few days. Now it seems the muscle twitching has moved to more parts of my body, but the left leg is most noticeable.
I have noticed dexterity issues when it comes to typing, and have been clumsier and dropping things more than normal.
This past week, my neck has become incredible sore, almost as if holding it up is a burden and only really alleviates when I lay down.
Of course, Dr. Google told me I have ALS and now I am worried. Do I have anything to worry about? I think the neck pain is the one that is freaking me out the most.
Thank you so much!
