I'm so sorry to bother all of you, I'm sure you have a ton of people that come here wondering if they have ALS and ask you the same questions that I might ask, I apologize. But I'm actually very fearful.
I noticed around last year in June of 2012 that my foot (left) felt funny, almost cramp-like. I don't work out, nor did I over-exert myself in any way for my foot to be feeling that way. It doesn't bother me much in comparison to what my left calf now feels like. It feels almost like there's vibrations, sort of tingeley, as well as muscle spams in both my calf, and foot. And it is NON STOP, all day, all night. Has been relentless for months now. It's very disturbing and bothersome. So of course I got on the Internet and began browsing, and stumbled upon restless leg, and then ALS.
I was wondering if this sounded alarming to any of you? Or if it sounds like the beginning of something, maybe? Did any of those with ALS experience this at first?
From what I've read I've concluded that most seem much more severe than what I'm experiencing but some answers sound like they describe what I'm feeling, yet are too vague to really tell, and cant put my fears to rest.
I appreciate you taking the time to read my thread, and give me any input that you might have (if you do)
