Hi Everyone:
I am a 33 yo female. I am scared I might have ALS. My right toe started twitching after initially developing exercise intolerance and cold feet. My knees felt tight from behind and I was having a muscle spasm in my right knee/thigh. I still get that spasm upon too much exertion. Anyway, now all my toes on the right leg do this, and my doctor tested me for hyperreflexia yesterday. My hands have started feeling weird like I can see a little muscle twitch and then it gets sore to use on both right and left. Also, I have twitches followed by pain to the touch sometimes in my arms after they have been used. And sometimes feel weak. I also have eyelids that twitch and am very fatigued. When I did the tests yesterday morning, I was able to stand on my tiptoes and walk on my heels. However, with the presentation in my hands and arms now and my left foot starting to do the same thing as my right foot, I am totally freaked!
I have a brain MRI sometime next week and a NCV/EMG in about 4 weeks. It sounds stupid, but I want to be able to wear my heels again without the pain behind the knees and thighs, etc... I feel all this weakness after some exertion. I have so many dreams, but I am scared they will be drowned in the toilet. I have been a total mess!!
