Re: Still struggling with ALS fears.
Weakness and atrophy go hand in hand almost. And keep in mind that als patients don't "feel" their muscles wasting, they just stop working because the signal from the brain to the muscle is cut. I just responded to you on my thread. Most als patients don't even realize something is wrong until they can't do basic things like zip in their coat, tie a shoe, open a can, lift a briefcase they've been lifting for years, clip their nails, trip over nothing, drag their foot or scuff their toes constantly, fall down more and more often.
We think it's not obvious because it's hard to imagine that the disease comes on that quickly or presents in that way but it really does. I don't think there's any precursor feelings and if there are weakness would quickly follow, same goes for twitching. If it happens prior to weakness, it follows the twitching relentlessly quick in almost all cases.
And we're talking about a rare disease already.
