Hello, My name is Brian I am 37 years old and a father of four children. I am currently a police officer and life is good. However a month and a half ago I began getting what I thought was flu like symptoms (Aching just plain feeling like crap) After On the third day I began feeling a little better but on the fourth day I woke up having no strenght in my arms. There was no numbness or tingiling or twitching. I just couldn't pick my son up, or button my pants or open a pop can. I couldnt even grab a pen. The next day I went to the doctor and he put me off for two weeks and began testing for M/S. The MRi showed no leasons associated with M/S. Now they are leaning towards ALS. I have regained my strenght and have returned to work.
DO I have ALS? Are these symptoms.? Does the weekness associated with ALS come gradually or quick like mine.
Anyone know.
Thanks Brian
