Hello everyone. I just want to say i appreciate the conversations in these forums. I have a question i haven't seen yet though.
I started getting persistent fasciculations in my left calf around March 2022 (24/7 pretty much). No other symptoms other than that (that i'm aware of). Then, at the end of may 2022, those twitches started in my right calf as well, though not as persistent. Beginning in June 2022, i admit the anxiety ramped up, but i also started to experience stiffness (not cramps per se) in both legs with subjective weakness. I've also over the past month started to experience mild stiffness/cramping in my shoulders and hands. I've also started to find it a little more difficult to do things with my right hand (such as cook). though i admit i can still to all daily living activities.
My question is, is it anyones experience that the disease progresses first with general aches/pains/feeling more run down before you actually experience some sort of "clinical weakness"?
