I am a 44 year old man with some worrying symptoms. I have an appointment with an neurologist tomorrow.
Over the past year or so I’ve had spells of utter exhaustion - not just sleep tired - physically unable to function. I have also had sleep issues where I wake abruptly gasping for air. Perhaps obstructive sleep apnea? My throat muscles relaxing so much that they block my airway? I don’t know but it’s very unpleasant.
I have always been very inflexible and suffered from morning stiffness but it seems to be worse than ever and my whole body aches.
I get muscle spasms in my legs, arms and sometimes stomach every night - jerks that I can’t control. They began a year or so ago but got worse in January 2020.
I often wake with totally numb hands and arms and they even go numb with pins and needles during the day when I’m just doing normal things like watching TV.
I have choked on food a few times recently as my throat is sore and uncomfortable. I have a slight hesitancy in food passage for a few seconds.
Finally I have a headache that never goes away no matter how many pills I take.
Has anybody had the same symptoms? Obviously I’m worried it could be MND.
