Serious symptoms

[Nervous chuck]

Hi all, I have teeth chattering, hard swallow, numb upper lip, right side neck spasms, back neck aches, internal tremors ach in legs. No appetite, even a beer doesn’t taste right. Some slurred speech. Going to dr on the 13th

Hi Chuck,

Nothing you mention suggests ALS. Good idea to check in with your doctor.

If you read this, hopefully it will help reassure you why your symptoms don’t add up to ALS:

Important - READ BEFORE POSTING! Answers to common concerns about possible symptoms

We will try to answer reasonable questions. We are not here to argue with you. If you announce that you ”know” you have ALS when the doctors say otherwise, or you have not bothered to see a doctor, your thread will be closed. It is not our place to try to convince you you are wrong. Neither...

Chuck,
This forum is for terminally ill patients with ALS and their loved ones and caregivers. Please work with your health care providers to figure out what is going on but you don't have any signs of ALS.

Teeth chattering in ALS is clonus. My experience is in that case it is neither early in disease nor is it 24/7 or anywhere close. Your other symptoms don’t say ALS. If you had constant clonus ( which as I said would not be 24/7 )You would be unable to eat or speak during it

Thanks all , I truly believed symptoms led in that direction and I understand the pain and suffering you have. God bless all of you
