Hello All Thank You For Listening,
I’m a 25 year old woman and very concerned about a few symptoms that have suddenly appeared to me at the beginning of this month... it all started with the tremors in my left hand/fingers. Now that I’m working from home, I am typing 9hrs a day and figured that could’ve triggered it. A little shaking when holding things. However the tremors subside whenever I put my hand completely down on the table. The tremors happen sometimes holding my phone, when I stretch my hand out and are exaggerated with my anxiety but there’s no pain and I don’t really feel too much weakness. I have felt a little weakness/shakiness when going down the steps in my legs. Now I’ve noticed these muscle spasm/twitches at random moments at rest, in my calf, my foot, my thigh even on my side. I’m having trouble sleeping, loss of appetite and very nervous. I’ll be soon going to my PCP in the hopes of seeing a neurologist. Could this be ALS?
Thank you.
