Howdy.
So the neurologist said. After muscle twitching for months I was referred to an EMG specialist. After he performed his thing on me the resulting diagnosis was, as in the title "probable mnd, probable als".
I'm a 43 yo male, with two little kids (2 daughters), and I have to say this is taking a huge toll on my spirits right now.
I feel bounced around with fear, stress. My appetite has gone to the drainer, as such has my sleep. Worst thing I'm going through right now are these quite still hours of the night where I lie there, eyes open, and feeling these devilish fasciculation running right and left. It's like a constant reminder a my probable fate.
I'm going a little hard on the drinking side at the moment, as I feel this is the very last thing that would aleviate some of my stress. But I have to monitor this intake as to not going too far.
Any tips on how to pull out of this without losing it. I sometimes contemplate just grabing my pistol and end it, but I can't because of my family.
Looks like i just dropped a bottle in the sea, hoping for some guidance here.
