I just recently turned 18 and female. I started college when I was 15 and everything was going good. I'm a junior now and I've been experiencing so many problems. It first started with an eye twitch which was persistent and never went away. A few months after I started getting uncontrollable tremors in my hands. This occurred during the summer so I didn't really think it was stress from school or anxiety. During the fall of my sophomore year, a very scary attack happened. I was trying to fall asleep and my hands were shaking and my heart was beating really fast. I don't reall remember what happened exactly since I've been expericing bad memory, but I was having trouble falling asleep and I finally did around 3am. I suddenly woke up at 6am and tried getting up but I had no control over my right arm. I wasn't sleeping on it or anything it just laid there like a piece of rubber. After a few seconds I got control of it again and it was just so numb and no pain. At that moment my arm felt so heavy and I haven't regained the normal feeling of it. It's just been feeling weaker and weaker. I went to the doctors right away, they got a CAT scan and said everything was normal except my vitamin d level. So for a few months I've been on supplements and I'll finish the dosage by this week. I haven't felt better at all. Just gotten worse. Lately I've been expericing muscle spasms that are very noticeable. I have poor balance and been experiencing muscle stiffness. My arms just feel so heavy and I've been holding objects in awkward postions. Can someone please direct me in whether I could possibly have als or if it's something else?
