Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this post. If anyone takes the time to reply I am very grateful.
I have become increasingly concerned over my symptoms, over a duration of 6 months I have got worse. Despite seeing a neurologist 2 weeks ago who told me I have no neurological deficit and I definitely don’t have motor neurone disease however I am concerned he has got this wrong.
I am 26, my grandmother had MND when she was 68 I add.
My symptoms are below
- my right hand and wrist feel weak and like it doesn’t how it should, constantly
- right arm feels weak
- right ankle and foot feels weak
- right leg feels weak
- like my limbs don’t work correctly
- softness in my muscles in my legs and arms, but more so my right leg
- tingling in my right leg, calf and thigh
- tingling in my feet
- pins and needles in my right hand down my little finger and the finger next to it
- weight loss
- extreme fatigue constantly, un refreshed sleep
- tremor in my little finger
- restricted type feeling in my throat, tingling in my tongue and just a feeling like my tongue doesn’t work correctly and hearing in myself that my speech doesn’t sound right but no one else around me has heard it.
- constant muscle twitching in my leg, feet, arm left side, hands, my back
- no desire to eat but still feeling hungry
i haven’t felt ‘well’ for around 2 years I would say but since around May 2020 my health has declined even more.
I saw a neurologist in January 2020, who didn’t raise any concerns. He sent me for an EMG which I had in February 2020 and the needle EMG was done in my left leg only - normal results.
I then had another EMG in June 2020. The needle EMG was done in my right leg, left arm and hand, my back and under my chin - normal results.
As I said since then I have seen the same neurologist I saw in January again in October 2020. He carried out a clinical exam on me and said I have no neurological deficit and does not feel I need to have a 3rd EMG.
im at a loss. Does this sound like MND?
Does a clinical exam as of 2 weeks ago with all these symptoms I mention present clear me of MND?
the anxiety of having MND is ruining my life along with all the symptoms I have.
Any response is much appreciated x
