Hi,
I'm a 53/m I'm married 2 children. Last October I went to the Doctor with a lot of Canker Soars in the back of my throat. Never had such a break out.. one or two, but this was like 12 or more. He gave me a viral medication and they went away. I also started having loose stools, lost about 12 lbs.. and then came extreme bouts of fatique.. and headaches at the same time. I also had a fever of and on. The fatigue and headaches lasted about a month and a half. Not all the time it would just come on me. During this time I developed pin and needles in my right foot with a numbness and a weakness in my left thumb only when the fatigue would hit. This continued and the fatquie and headaches stopped. Then I begin to wake up at night with my hands asleep. I would have to pry my two right fingers apart. I've had a CBC.. normal... tested for EBV came back positive.. at sometime in my life I was exposed to it. I've developed a weakness in my arms.. and hard to hold a pin and write at length. Also my muscle tighten under neath my chin.. and develope a headache. When I stick my tongue way out my muscles quiver on my check if i hold it out for a little bit and my tongue guivers when I stick it way out and hold if for a while. Also I've had a white patch on the back of my tongue. I still have trouble with my bowels.. just not right. Is this a sign of ALS? Or is this some type of virus... ? My numbness has left my right foot and it just seems weak. I ran a few miles.. but and haven't had any fatguie. Thanks for answering!
