Hi
I am worried for my best friend...he has been displaying some weird symptoms recently. Any help from anyone would be really appreciated.
He has recently had symptoms where he feels weird in his arms. They feel numb and tingly and weighed down. Sometimes his legs too, but mostly his arms, and mostly his right arm.
Sometimes his hand swells a bit.
Also, he has had this feeling where he feels what he calls "nervous energy" charging through him- but he does not feel nervous/anxious at all- just like he could go running from 10 miles. He says something feels 'wrong'.
And thirdly, he has been twitching and fidgeting a lot more than usual.
Like I said, any help would be appreciated...
I should add that he has suffered many concussions and I am also sometimes worried about CTE. I think there may be some correlation between CTE and ALS, but I'm really too scared to check.
