Hi, again.
I posted here few times and I'm currently waiting for my neuro appointment next week.
(FYI, normal clinical exam, clean EMG 8mon. ago, another normal clinical exam two weeks ago. I was told I do not have any neurological symptoms.) I am not here to ask
if I have als or not, although I have new/changing symptoms. My symptoms( a lot
of percieved weakness in two limbs with twitching) were gone for a month and a half since this horrible disease doesn't come and go, now I am trying to look at this more objectively.
What concerns me now is I keep on waking up at night with paralized right arm. no pain, no loss of sense, I don't notice it until I roll over. I'm pretty sure this is the real
weakness with MND. I massage it and I regain my strenths in a couple of minutes. This happened two months ago in the middle of night. First I thought it was poor blood circulation, but I sleep on my left side, and this happens to my right arm. no tingling.
So far this happened 5 times and since then my right arm remains heavy/fatigued all the time. I sleep on my back now, but this still happens whenever it wants. I did mention it to my neuro 2weeks ago, but since I don't have any clinical weakness, he didn't really pay attention to it.
What could it be? it's just my nerve signal got cut off? pinched nerve? is that why I have this fatigued arm all the time? I know this is real silly I have noticed a very tiny dent on top of my right hand between the 4th and 5th finger. I should have significant weakness(not percieved) before a dent shows up, right? anybony experienced this? Is this just my sleeping position problem? I'm grateful for any information. Thank you.
