Hi all
Feeling real bad today. I have had an awful few weeks after ending up in hospital for ten days after taking an overdose, so please bare with me.
My symptoms started around ten weeks ago with muscle twitching all over my body which I saw the gp about, and who worried me about mnd/als, and sent me into a spiral of fear and anxiety and then to hospital.
I do have multiple sclerosis also and had an appointment with my neurologist about ms three weeks ago, so while there I told him my concerns, he examined me and told me he wasn't concerned at all and put the twitching down as benign.
Moving on from that appointment, I have had muscle aches in my forearm and fingers feel stiff, I am still able to do all usual things but have to say I am really worried again about als/mnd. I'm not sure if I have muscle wasting or weakness either. I am so scared at this time and saw gp this morning who wasn't concerned. What happens first with als/mnd?
Does the atrophy happen before weakness and then the twitching?? Really appreciate your help as feel I am sliding here with my anxiety.
Thanks
