This site seems like a great support network. My heartfelt concern goes out to those who suffer or are searching for solutions.
I find my self in the latter. Lately, I've been experiencing weakness in both legs and my 'off arm', though its not extreme, I don't find myself tripping or falling, and no gait problems, but I do feel weak in the legs mostly. My hands and feet don't appear to be affected more than legs or arms in general or just general weakness. It feels like I've worked out, but I have not. I've noticed some twitching, though it could be just normal or related to anxiety.
In the past, I've noticed that if I work out, walk a LONG distance, my feet become heavy, but with normal activity this hasn't been a problem. But of late it seems like I'm just 'tired' and weak.
It seems to be worse in the evening.
I don't seem to have problem speaking or breathing.
The weakness has started to come in over a period of about a week.
Could this be ALS?
