please help me and I know I am annoying
Hello guys, I am so sorry to bother you. But there is really something wrong with me. First I am a university student who major in neuroscience.Ok my symptoms started last semester. When i played the piano I started to feel uncomfortable on my right calf. It just felt not right like it was cramping like i cannot step on paddle anymore though I could still step on it. And it was last semester when I was taking my neuroscience class, i learned the disease ALS. I started to be scared although I know the chance for a teen like me to get ALS is almost statistically impossible. But when i drive, i could always feel that cramping feelings on my right calf and it never goes away. And muscle twitching started at that time especially on my right calf.Then I felt my right shoulder sourness even when I am not using it. Then follows the weakness of my right hand I just feel like my right fingers and palms were not as strong as they used to be. I found my writing ugly, and when I typed, i could feel sourness and clumsy of my right hand. And they shake. I was so worried about my symptoms and turned myself to my PC. He did the general test and told me I was healthy, but considering that i have the symptoms he referred me to a neurologist.
The neurologist do the same test and also told me to not worry so much. And he ordered a EMG test for me in order to tease my worries out. But the EMG is on April, and i always worried about my condition it just never goes away. I know it sounds like some psychological things, but since I am an neurology major student and what I learned everyday is the diseases like this and the more i learned the more i am scared.
Anyway, I know my symptom above is not related to ALS very much, but things got changed. Yesterday i went to gym and do some lifting and running, it makes me feel very good, but today, when i was having dinner, all the sudden, i just feel something wrong with my left arm and hand. I feel my left picky became weak and there is numbness and sourness feeling on my left arm. It just like my left hand suddenly became soft and useless when use it, (however i could still use it by now) and it feels not as strong as my right hand especially my last two fingers. This thing really freaks me out. And all the worries appeared again. I am not sure what happened on my left picky it feels clumsy and weak. And it is definitely a little weaker then my right one.
Does any of these sounds like ALS? I know the weakness of ALS is all or nothing, but i still cannot figure out how the weakness will progress especially for my new symptoms. i feel i am becoming crazy, but every time when i feel i could finally flee away from my worries i found something new that freaks me out.
English is not my first language so sorry about my English it might be difficult to understand. And i really dont want to bothering your guys and i think you guys are all heroes to fight with disease like this.
