Hello Everyone!
My mum died from ALS after 10 years which she started to have at her 45 and now I am 34 and I'm so worry that I could also get it with gens as she had it early which lead my thoughts to familial ALS possibility...
I had lots of stress in my life and after one of such moments in August I started to have feeling of weakness and twitches in my right hand - twitches were in my triceps for whole day non stop, but then they stopped. I have to say that I had twitches before in different places, but no so intense.. I continue doing sport and everything was fine except my fingers feel weak and I started to feel uncertainty in movements and writing. But after some time this feeling seems to be less intense, but in October moved to my legs and they started to twitch in calf muscles every day until now( and I started to feel same weakness. And now I can't do exercises for the same period of time as I got tired and I feel my muscles fatigue in both hands and legs after just few exercises.. I still can do everything with a strength, but not for so long and it make me very exhausted and I feel like my muscles are tired so much I can just feel something like fatigue, but not as always - It feels a little bit different..
So my question is if it possible for ALS to start in one hand without clinical weakness, but with fatigue, which then spread to legs and affect whole body with exhaustion come earlier after exercises and feeling weakness?
Also I have a question about familial ALS - I'm not sure how is it possible for it to be inherited from the parent which got it in gen? So this gen should be already broken during child born? But if it spreads to parent after child was born?
Thank you in advance!
