I dont know If I can post update about stuff going on but my neurologist and overall family made me stress enough to make me comeback here even I know I shouldnt
Symptoms have worsened compared to a last time, I started to get more severe headaches and neck pain with tinnitus, my hand and feet muscles have become stiff, and smaller (Mostly both of my thumbs are painfully stiff), there is more of eye floaters as well and twitching is still pretty widespread, my right side of body is getting a lot tired faster compared to left (even on simple tasks like "shoving something overhead"). On the neurological exam there was visible hyperreflexia in both my legs and my left arm. I got send for blood tests after it cameback normal I got send for CT, she didnt really explain to me what could be happening the only thing she said is "It looks bad", as my CT comeback normal and my parents saying I shouldnt worry and everything is fine pushing that I have mental issues both of this things words from my neurologist and my parents are stuck in my head. The only question I have is should I really be worried about ALS? All of it started in July so I think it cannot be but things I am hearing are only making me believe it can be only this.
Sorry for posting again here, Happy holiday to everyone reading this.
 
No, I still see no reason to think of ALS. Also, keep in mind that reflexes (as well as neck pain and headaches) can be influenced by factors that include anxiety, dehydration, and things like that.

It is good that the CT (of the brain?) was normal. I would make sure you are being seen by a good internist to consider post-viral syndromes, and that an eye doctor has checked the floaters.

As the patient, you have the right to ask what the "it looks bad" comment means, in the sense of asking what the doctor's thoughts are.
 
She didnt give me ct of the brain I dont know really why only of neck without the stuff to show up nerves.
Thank you for replying
