Fairly Certain That I Have ALS at Eighteen.

I'll start by listing my very symptom that I didn't think much of at the time. Severe pain in the abdomen after eating. I thought it was nothing more than a case of indigestion. Over the course of three months, it would occur three more times. After two bowls of hot soup, the pain occurred again. The next day would be the onset of concerning symptoms.

At the end of November, 2018 I would have constipation that would last for the next two months. Along with these symptoms would be waved of heat in my upper abdomen After drinking coffee. I would have colon spasms, and cases of Malabsorption that would occur in the middle of Janurary.

While the indigestion has not occurred, nor has the heat sensations, I found that my stool came out more in balls, varying in the size of a pebble to almost as big as golf balls. I also had colon spasms that would occur.

The most recent symptom has brought me to this board. Muscle spasms all across my body that started close to when I believed I suffered a case of Optic Nuritis. Pain when i moved my eyes too far to the left or right. The Twitching has been nonstop. If my colon has lost partial nerve function, then it seems likely that my limbs are following suit. I have no money to see a doctor. I'm just hoping that I don't experience weakness or foot drop, but it seems that it will happen at some point.
