I am desperate to believe I have anything but ALS. Desperate. But every symptom points to ALS. If anyone knows of someone with these symptoms who did NOT have ALS, it would be much appreciated.
I will say I have been to see a neurologist, but have yet to have my MRI. She said it is not a pinched nerve. I am 41.
Symptoms:
1. Fasciculations all over body, mostly in right leg
2. Foot drop (right leg)
3. Muscle atrophy in calf (right leg)
4. Hyperreflexia (right leg)
5. Painful spasms in calf (right leg)
6. Clonus in ankle (right leg)
These symptoms have been going on for around 8 months.
I was holding out hope for MS (sounds odd to say) but it looks like the symptoms don't add up.
I have had no trauma to my back or any back pain, or previous diseases.
I have an 8 month old son who I am so afraid will not know me. I am looking for any hope, but it looks like it is definitely ALS.
