Dear MND Connect,
I have posted on another thread about my son and his symptoms and have had some lovely replies from people that have been very supportive.
However, I wondered if the team would take the time to read my sons symptoms and maybe have some suggestions about if if could be something else other than MND.
My son started with his symptoms 3 weeks ago and after seeing the GP she told him that he had the symptoms for MND and would need to be tested but that in the present situation it would be unlikely that he would see anyone for months.
As I have explained in my previous threads my son suffers from anxiety and this is obviously causing a great deal of stress.
His symptoms now are as follows;
His left hand is weak and he is struggling to use it and it feels like his whole arm is straining to complete a task. His whole hand and at times is arm is trembling and the muscles aches. His thumb muscles particularly aches. Even when he wakes up his left arm is aching and trembling and the bottom of his shoulder aches.
He also has pain in the right forearm with a shooting pain occasionally going down the arm. The thumb on this hand aches.
His ankles sometimes ache.
I would be so very grateful for your thoughts on these symptoms.
I would also like to take the opportunity to thank you for all the time you give to the running of this wonderful site.
Thank you.
Love Margaret.
