Hi,
I’m 22, male, and recently had been feeling some tingling and numbness in my hands and feet. I was initially worried about MS but it has since become a fatigue in my right hand and forearm. I was paranoid about the numbness and had been flexing my right thumb a lot, as well as pressing my pinky finger to my thumb hard (started that Thursday) and frequently and doing those strength tests. I had my reflexes and strength looked at on Tuesday and they were normal and symmetrical. Since, I am having small churning type spasms in my elbow muscle and more fatigue/tightness in the forearm. My dexterity is functional but feels a tiny bit lessened. My anxiety has convinced me it’s ALS because of the fatigue and localized elbow spasms. Is it?
