HI Everyone,
I am 26 years old with 2 young children and am scared out of my mind that i have early signs of als.
My grandfather had this horrible disease and i am affraid i am following his fate.
My first symptoms which took me to see my doctor was pins and needle tingling like feelings in my hands, feet, legs and head and some muscle weakness in my leg.
2 days later i started having muscle tightness and spasms in my legs arms and back which took me back to the dr.
I was then referred to a neuroligist who after doing a physical said i was showing signs of ms.
I did express my concern about als as my grandfather had it but he just said als dosnt start with tingling.
I was sent for a mri which was clear and he is happy to say i dont have ms.
I go back to see him in 2 weeks for blood results which my gp has already told me are all clear and to see what the next step is.
My symptoms at present are
Twitching in my legs, feet and arms
Fatigue
Muscle spasms (sometimes waking me from a sleep they are so bad)
A general feeling of body weakness, mostly in my legs and arms.
Difficulty in writing even a sentence without my hand getting tired.
I am just wondering if anyone could offer me and advice
Thankyou
