Hello everyone I’d like to get some feedback on some symptoms I’ve been having.
Starting back in march I started to notice some twitching throughout my body. The twitching has became more prominent as the months have gone by. It has also been accompanied by tremors my hands and finger are mostly affected. I was hospitalized in April and my CK levels were over 9,000. My ck levels have since returned to normal.
I had an emg performed in July on my right arm and leg because I was experiencing most shaking and weakness on that side. The neurologist told me he saw fasiculations but nothing more. I was proscribed carbomezopine and sent on my way. I’ve done everything possible I’ve changed my diet. I’ve started taking vitamins every deficiency vitamin to try to normalize the way I feel on a daily basis. I’m constantly fatigued no matter how much sleep I get. Even on the medication I’m on I still get twitching almost constantly throughout my body especially after lifting something or in the evening after I get home from work a lot of the twitching are violently and sometimes cause some jerking movements.
Idk if it’s just in my head but I feel like I’m losing muscle in my right forearm the muscle feels more defined and tight. I constantly cramp all throughout my body. Ex. Just cooking dinner and stirring something in a pot and my hand will cramp up. I’m 28 for the most part pretty healthy and active I am a smoker. I have had every blood test ran imaginable all have come back clean. if Anyone has any advice or knowledge about what this could be please let me know. I know the chances of als are so slim but I’m running out of options as to what this could be.
