Last year about this time, I started feeling like I had ALS. Some twitching, trouble swallowing, feeling weak. The symptoms went away for a while, but now I feel like they are back. I have twitching in both hands sometimes, even when hands are at rest, my hands shake when I lift a heavy pitcher of lemonade, my hands just don't feel as strong as they used to. I can stand on tip toes and walk on my heels, but I can't stand on my left foot as easily as I can my right one, or for as long. I feel like I'm losing my mind with worry. Does this sound like ALS? I drive my husband crazy constantly trying to stand on left foot.
Also, one night I was playing piano and messed up because my left thumb just refused to move for a whole chorus of a hymn. It was over as quick as it happened, but still scared me.
