Fearing ALS

[darkside4k]

I honestly have a lot those symptoms and more. Arm fatigue and muscle burning... hand cramping...

[MyNameIsTerry]

You’ve had all these symptoms?

- Legs shake when bending in squat position and never used to
- Right arm spasms
- Legs wobbly when walking and going down stairs
- Legs feeling sun burnt and numb
- Muscle twitches in legs, arms, face and feet
- Overall shakiness every time I have to hold a position or balance on a limb

Yep, been there, done that.

Yep, been there, done that.

Seriously? Cause they all point to ALS.

Lol surely this thread should be closed. It ain’t helping anyone

I agree. The OP has been taken out of the conversation and it's just become a revolving wheel of reassurance seeking. There's really nothing more that can be said

Yep, and they obviously don't just point to ALS as years on I'm fine.

The symptoms you mention also point to general weaknesses. If I hit the weights hard I could bring all of those on with DOMS. You've only got to watch the London marathon to see the wobbly legs on some at the end. And anxiety takes a massive told on the body as well as leaches various minerals out which can mean lots of symptoms including the ones you mention, which I've seen many on here mention in my time here.

With my anxiety I have found myself knackered just walking up the stairs. I spent a couple of months doing nothing in the house unable to go out ro do much of anything. When I got back out I felt unable to do much walking and felt very weak. It's like when someone has an injury they have to do the physio because the strength very quickly goes.

Yes I do feel completely weak and have barely gone out in months. But the twitching started before I was that bad. My muscles just don’t feel right. They feel like jelly. I never felt that way.

Absolutely. I have a few of them as I type this too. Every single symptom you mentioned is an anxiety symptom.

Every.

Single.

One.

But I am going to give you some hard advice now. You need real help, nothing this forum can give you is going to provide that. You need to call someone, get therapy going, do something to fight the ANXIETY.

Absolutely agree. It is actually a pretty good demonstration of how this place can go wrong if it isn't used constructively.

[darkside4k]

I now have near constant pains in both legs, both hands, neck, and feet. Does this sound like ALS? Brain tumor?

[BlueIris]

Both, Darkside, and possibly also the bubonic plague.
