Dear responders
I am Ali
I have some misconceptions and also fears about my symptoms which i wanted to be shared and responded.
1 and half a month ago i had wierd fatigue which made me disturb from running and climbing.jus fatigue. I did blood test and it came back clean. I should confess that after 1 week it made me scared. Because it made my calves tired. Then suddenly one night my left quadricep started to twitch like crazy for 1 minut so fast. I just open the google and search for it and it gave me Als which can cause fatigue and twitching beside other symptoms in early stages. Then it spread to all of my body every where. My arms and feet strength reduced for example when i drived my arms got shake and tired of holding steering wheel and i changed rapidly my hands. I went to neurologist and he examined me hardly and said that it is nothing and be calm you are better than any one. He gave half a mlg clonazepam before sleeping to make me sleep. But after 2 weeks after withdrawal of clonazepam one morning i wake up with totally weakness right arm which i couldnt even clench my hand. I was scared so much. But when i woke up my strength came back to normal. Until now i have this problem. My hand gets weak in the morning and then after waking up for wc or breakfast it is fine.but no atrophy and no weakness during the day. It scared me. My twitchings are getting calm. During the day i lift weights at gym but also previous week i have respiratory problems shortness of breath specially after ejaculation it kills me. But the it gets better after 3 or 4 hours. Does als symptoms are come and go like this?
How many months it takes from starting the als to be suspect it clinically?
