Hi all,
I have read the stickies and have tried to keep my mind as far from ALS as possible. I'm a 25 year old male, always been healthy played professional football until this past year where a 5th concussion ended my career. I understand how difficult this disease is and I pray for all of you, and I also understand own rare it is; especially for someone my age.
I have had mri and ct scans on my head just from my previous concussion and they have turned up completely normal, also had all of my blood work done and they told me I'm as healthy as a horse. But for the last 3 months or so I have been feeling weakness throughout my forearm on my left arm. My strength hasn't seemed to diminish at all, but post workout and I get pretty extreme fatigue in my left forearm alone. No atrophy present, but I also get a crawling feeling under my skin on my forearm, as well as a shaky feeling in my hand.
Im not to sure what early onset symptoms might be for ALS and I have been trying to not think the worst, but it is so localized it has been worrying me.
Thanks for reading and any responses, I understand it is annoying to get so many people asking about their symptoms but at the same time that is what this section of the forum is for so I appreciate any advice given!
