Hello everyone,
For the past 4 days i have had extreme neck stiffness, and yesterday i started to experience weakness in all of my limbs plus muscle twitching. Its almost like my muscles don't want to work sometimes? Also my jaw muscle feels stiff but, i can swallow just fine as far as i can tell.. i dont really understand what the term "troubled swallowing" means.. i dont seem to have any cramps in my muscles nor any weakness it seems like its perceived weakness like my legs feel as if they dont want to work sometimes but they do.. (If that makes any sense.) I seem to have shakiness in all of my limbs at times. but my coordination seems to be just fine, i never drop or stumble over anything. I am not sure if this is anxiety and im overreacting or possible onset of ALS. This all happened in about 2 days so im not really sure how fast ALS occurs in people. If anyone can tell me what i should do next, or if this sounds like possible ALS and if it is possible ALS since this symptoms came on so fast does that mean very bad news? Thanks for all your help!
