Please, please help. Serious ALS symptoms.
M23, generally healthy.
In the last two weeks, I’ve noticed my right leg specifically become weaker, starting with barely noticeable muscle fatigue above the knee, and it has radiated out down to my calf and upper thigh. I feel like foot drop is currently developing, but I can still move it up and down. Twitches and tingling are becoming more and more common. Also having difficulty swallowing, and slight difficulty gripping with right hand (might be anxiety symptoms though).
Does this sound like the normal course for ALS onset? Please help me, I can’t think about anything else, and I cannot get into a neurologist for a few months.
I’ve heard that ALS almost always sneaks up on you, or that it’s a muscular ONLY disease, so I wouldn’t be able to feel tingling. However, it truly feels like my leg is beginning to lose function, and it’s scaring the absolute hell out of me.
If not ALS, what else could this be?
Thanks so much in advance.
