I'm a 26yo male and I've recently had a lot of distress with symptoms and am worried it could be ALS. I'm curious if anyone here can share their opinion. The order of the symptoms is:
1. Tinnitus (Ringing in the ears) - Started 3 Months Ago - Getting Worse - Constant
2. Buzzing/Tingling in the Hands and Feet - Started 1.5 Months Ago - Getting Worse, But Comes and goes
3. Cramps in legs, muscles twitching in calves, muscles also twitching in neck - Started 1 Week Ago - Getting Progressively Worse (Cramp pain/twitching is now constant).
I have been to the doctor through all of this, originally he put me through the tests for Thyroid problems and then brain cancers. Everything came back fine, along with vitamin intake.
Today I went to see him about the cramps and he also noticed that my tongue is spasming uncontrollably (or fasiculation as he called it). He has referred me to a Neurologist and I have set up an appointment for next week.... But he seemed hesitant to tell me what it may be. After reading about my symptoms, I've convinced myself it may be ALS.... Do these symptoms sound like ALS? Or am I worrying about nothing?
