hello everyone,
I am new to this forum and wish to tell my story in hopes that some may shed some light on my case. It all started when I was 6 months pregnant with my 2nd son. I started getting this pins and needle sensation in different areas of my body. I ignored it because i thougght it was pregnancy related. Finally a fwe days after I gave birth I had some twitching in my right arm followed by loss of sensation in that arm that persisted for a few days. That was the end of that and everything went back to normal. Now a year and a half later I have twitching all over my body. It started in my left eye then my cheek along with tingling. The it spread everywhere. Some days are better than others but twitching in arch of feet continues along with tingling and myoclonic jerks. I also feel like my legs feel like noodles and they ache really bad after going up the steps and squatting. I dont know if they are weak or I am just creating this out of anxiety. I went to a neuro. He did a mri of brain only. Did all labs too. All came back normal. Im scheduled for emg and eeg next week. Just wondering if my situation sounds common to this forum. I am soooooo afraid of als. I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old that need me desperately. Iasked my neuro if he thought it was als and he said that my neuro exam was normal and he didnt visually see me twitching so probably not, but Im still convinced that Im doomed. If anybody has any info Id be extremly greatful .
