Hello. I just want say thank you for this forum. Also to the people with this terrible disease lots of prayers for those afflicted. Here are my symptoms. I am 35 years old now. About 15 years ago i developed schizophrenia. Just before my diagnosis i felt like my entire spine was burning up and down with electric shocks. I was hospitalized in a mental hospital for the first time and as soon as i started antipsychotics muscle twiching began. For 15 years i have been on many medications and hospitalized many times but the spasms have always been there. Also when i try to flex my muscles i can hear like cracking noises. Also I get cramps in my muscles more and more often. The twiching has increased in every muscle even bewteen my fingers toes. When lying down i feel as if my lean muscle strands are disapearing and i feel unstable as I walk. Its progressing in the last 3 months. Also my muscles have atrophied alot but no muscle failiure. My whole body is getting weaker. My spinal region and my muscles do not not seem normal. I know this does not sound like Als but could someone give me some ideas what could the problem be. I also read that schizophrenia and als are linked geneticly. I would like to rule out Als and not think about it because I have alot to deal with as it is. God bless and love you so much for answering my question
