Hey everyone!
I think I may have ALS, but I'm not really sure. Here's a bit of my medical history:
SWIM was into psychedelics for a while, doing things like LSD, MDMA, Mushrooms, and Weed. I still smoke weed in wax form daily, although I plan on stopping tonight.
About ten months ago I saw a chiro after hurting my back doing squats. She did some ultrasound stuff on my left side, and that was that. Felt worse after, so I saw a walk in doctor (I live in Canada), and he prescribed some muscle relaxants and painkillers, one of which acted as a blood thinner.
I started getting tremors from the medicine, so I stopped. Two weeks later I smoked a bit of weed and had a mini-stroke. I didn't know what it was at the time, but when I got home from my friends place I noticed my left side drooping, so I called 911. They couldn't do anything, but they did an MRI or CAT (I don't remember which), and nothing turned up.
About a month ago I hurt my back again squatting 315 lbs, and I went into rehab to see a physiotherapist. He told me my left back was way smaller than my right, which surprised me! Since then I started noticing that my left side is actually much smaller than my left, and seems to be getting smaller each week.
I'm kind of worried. Has anyone had symptoms similar to mine? Is this ALS?
Thank you ahead of time!
