I'm not sure about posting on here but I have an appt with a neurophysiologist soon and am feeling worried.
I'm concerned about my ongoing symptoms.
My fasciculations started to happen a couple of months ago and progressively fire off in all parts of my body, especially my tongue and abdomen, neck and feet as well as limbs whilst I'm at rest. I can feel them and they feel like small jolts. They are visible when my tongue is in my mouth at rest.
I have woken up in the middle of the night on many occasions unable to move or lift my left arm wrist or fingers properly for a few minutes. My wrist and fingers are curled and my forearm is bent. When I try to move it, my forearm goes in all sorts of directions (apart from the way I want it to) then it seems to subside, my fingers cannot be moved either. it's happening more often and came on the same time as the twitches. it does go away for a while but then comes back often at night. Does this sound like spasticity? I'm also waking up on a morning where i experience pain my ribcage when I breathe. I'm also waking up at night gasping for breath on occasions. Does this sound like ALS?
I am 40 with 4 amazing children and am incredibly worried at the moment.
thank you in advance.
