Hi Everyone:
I have been having weird symptoms for past 3-4 months.
Started off with numbness/tightness in jaw and face(could be from twitching). Vibrations and Zap kind of feeling in the back(like an earthquake or shakes for a second). My twitches and vibrations have been constant and all over in diff part of body.
Zaps scare the heck out of me...feel like someone shaked you for a sec. Mostly when sitting down.
I also have Twiches/Vibrations and they are most bothersome behind neck and legs. I have spasms on and off for several weeks now, Specially in neck , back and legs. Can twitches cause cramps and spasms.
I feel v weak. specially in my calf and sometime in my wrist. Hard to walk with pain mostly in left leg. Do not know if I see any muscle wasting as I cannot tell. I have 2 small kids and am driving my family crazy telling them I have ALS.
Have gotten all tests, multiple MRI. Blood work. ENT. Neuro cannot make any diagnosis.
EMG is being done in 2 weeks. Worried so much cannot sleep.
1. Is tightness and muscle cramps common in ALS
2.Twitching/vibrations all over on and off 24/7 common?
3. Weakness occur in both legs together. Muscle feel weak.
Cannot walk for more than few mins. Get nerve impulse , zap and dizzy from weak muscles.Please help me and let me know if you felt these as early symptoms.
Thanks so much in advance,
Simsons
