Hi, this is my first post.
I am posting on here out of genuine care for my own health, and to get some guidance because at the moment I am very worried. I’m quite an active 26 year old male who for the last 2 months has been experiencing a variety of symptoms which have links to ALS/MND. The symptoms started after I had a panic attack on a 5 hour plane flight and required an oxygen mask. About 30 hours before this I had been drinking with friends and at the end of the night I snorted some MDMA, something I deeply regret. I’m not a big drug user and I am usually quite a fit and healthy person. I went home and slept for around 4 hours that night and then slept on a little the next day before sleeping the next night for 6 hours or so.
Ever since I got off the plane after the panic attack I haven’t felt the same. I had another 13 hour overseas flight the next day and was on holiday for a month. Over this time I experienced another couple of panic attacks, and persistent weakness in my legs as well as pins and needles, dizziness and tremors. Since then the pins and needles have subsided and I’m left with Muscle weakness, muscle loss and fasciculations that don’t stop in my calf muscles. I feel stiff and am having trouble walking at times because I feel weak and fatigued. I am also getting a burning sensation on the top of my head.
I have had a brain mri, blood tests and a chest x Ray. All of which came back clear. I’m waiting on the results of an EEG test and a blood enzyme test to see if my muscle is breaking down. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. At the moment I am quite scared that I might have MND/ALS and am unable to function normally, each day feels like a month at the moment. Thanks for taking the time to read this and once again, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
