I am a long time sufferer of HA and a long time member of this board. I am a 40 yr old male and not on meds. For months or even years I have felt like my arms, shoulders, forearms and fingers are aching, weak, twitching and cramping. I don't think I have lost any sensation but I have a slight tremor sometimes and when I make a tight fist, a couple of my fingers want to remain in that position. I get strong twitching in my triceps that comes and goes. The muscles on the top of my forearms are particularly weak but everything just seems like it is gradually getting worse and seems to have sped up lately. I have gone through fears of ALS, MS, MND and all kinds of tumors. Right now I am doing all right but I am slowly sinking into anxiety. Does anyone else have this? I have had anxiety so long that I do know if I am anxious right now or if I am not. I worry, I I know my emotions are always very near the top as I get really moody an the smallest things brings tears to my eyes. (not very manly I know) Anyway, if anyone can chime in, that would be great. I just need a little support right now. A little reassurance and to know that I am not alone. Being alone in this is the worst. I have nobody that understands and doctors just want to either brush me off or send me for tests. Sorry for the rambling long post but thanks in advance.
