Hello,
I am a 26-year-old Frenchman.
Sorry for my English....
I read the pinned topic <read before posting>.
My symptoms are :
- For the last five days, fasciculations (like worms) in my right and left thigh. I don't feel them, or very little. I also have some in my calves, but they need to cramp voluntarily to see them. In my thighs no need to contract, the worms are always present.
- For the last two months, other fasciculation or jolting are present everywhere (arm, belly, back) but they are not worms like my thigh. Fasciculation also appears at the blow (percussion) and in the cold.
-For 2 months, my walking has been deteriorating, a limp has appeared, and is not disappearing. I leave my right leg lying around. It's my right leg that's affected. My feet are tapping the ground more and more often.
-For the last eight months, I've choked twice in the night. A little trouble swallowing. Sometimes food stays in the throat, I don't choke. I cough after drinking or eating. Presence for 8 months, white and transparent mucus.
- Little pain in my heels, because they got stiff. Very rarely abdominal cramps. It's bending me in half. Pain spots are sometimes present in my heels, thighs, stomach. (I read in your thread, Als no pain. But muscular pains are present and cramps also, in any case in France, doctors recognize the presence of cramps, and pain due to the stiffness of the muscles. But it's rare.).
- Stiff neck, more to the left, constant. My head is heavy, I have trouble keeping it straight.
- I drop objects very regularly.
August 1st. I made an emg lower right leg and forearm, but straight, it's clean. After emg the neurologist said no als.
I'm seeing the neurologist again in 2 weeks, because I called him to tell him that the fasciculations have looked like worms for 5 days. I am very worried that sla is going to pass through the emg.
I'm sorry to post, I'm really ashamed of myself for doing it.
I wouldn't question your answers. I would just like some advice. I know you're not doctors.
You are so generous to respond to anxious people. I admire your courage.
I would also like to make a donation, but with the Internet I don't trust, in France there have been scandals. In particular an association that stole the money for the fight against cancer. I'm not rich, but if you have a serious research association, I would like to make a donation.
Thank you for your future answers.
