Hi everyone! My name is Dylan, I'm 20 years old and have an unknown neuromuscular disease that caused limb paralysis and muscle atrophy by birth. The reason I'm here is that in July 2020 my right hand began tingling nonstop and hasn't ceased since. I wasn't terribly concerned as no muscle weakness (relative to my amount of strength) has occurred. Recently my hand has begun to twitch though, accompanied by soreness (the twitching started in April, lasted 2 days, and then returned on Friday, disappearing Monday and Tuesday but returning again yesterday). I read the stickies and know sensory symptoms lead away from ALS, but I've had sensory symptoms long before my twitching, I'm just concerned that what I'm feeling could be ALS, I do acknowledge that I'm a hypochondriac though. Any advice/help you can give would be appreciated greatly.
