My wife has recently presented with some strange symptoms and is now 100% convinced she has ALS. It is causing her and our family a great deal of stress and I’m just looking for some reassurance. She did see a neurologist briefly the other day and they ran some basic physical tests and have scheduled her for an EMG which they said could take up to 4 weeks.
It started about a week ago with twitching throughout her body but mostly her legs. She has had a constant eye twitch for almost 6 months. She is experiencing serious weakness in her left arm and right leg however not clinical. She has lost 8+ pounds in the last week and is now convinced her calf muscle on the right side is significantly smaller.
When we saw the neuro she did not rule out ALS but said it would not be something she is comfortable diagnosing with the current symptoms.
She is 100% convinced she is dying and is not at all herself she has never been like this. Any insight to these symptoms would be appreciated.
Thanks
