Hi everyone,
I'm a 28 year old male. About a month and half ago I noticed a tremor in both hands. For two weeks I didn't think to much about it, but then I noticed that it got worst when I was tired or stressed. So I decided to see my gp, he said it was probably stress. All my reflexes and motor skills were fine. About a week after I saw him I figured hey let me check the internet see what it has to say (mistake). Came across als in my search ever since I have been going crazy with worry. It got so bad I had a panic attack, went back to the doc he decided to put me on celexa. Been on for two weeks and I'm still a mess. Started feeling weakness in my left arm recently, I get fatigued doing things at work that just two months ago were no problem. But here is the real scary symptom that started recently,slurred speech (perceived?) no one has noticed but me, girlfriend swears see doesn't hear it. Also odd feeling in my jaw like it is sore after eating. Some numbness (no other way to describe it) around my mouth and chin. Has anyone ever experienced similar symptoms? Have an appt. with euro in a month, I'm just really scared and need some advice. Everyone I know keeps telling me it's just anxiety but to me it feels like there is a serious problem going on.
Any and all advice appreciated,
Thank you
Ej
