I think my hands are failing and I think it's ALS
Posted , 3 users are following.
I've posted a few times about feeling like my hands just don't work anymore. Today I'm really freaking out as not only do they ache, but I feel like I'm getting weaker. I noticed that when I was putting makeup on this morning that they were getting tired very easily, and then ached afterwards. Just now, I was making some eggs and felt like my right hand got tired even just whisking them, and then stirring them with the spatula while I was cooking them. I'm afraid everything is going to happen really fast now. I know that ALS starts with the hands and the forearm. I've had the twitches for like 3 months now. I'm only 36, but panicking. I do have iron-deficiency anemia, but don't think that it could cause all this.....why my hands specifically?!

ive been down this road before , my feet twitch , even more intense when i curl my toes . my legs buzz and i randomly drop paper or pens . of course i googled and got hooked on als , i done all the tests such as walking on my heals and balancing etc but i worried so much that one day i actually started slurring my words and felt like my feet would get tired driving and like you my arms would hurt while brushing my hair ot putting on make up in mornings . long story short i then found a breast lump and started worrying about that , miraculously while worrying about my breast all the als symptoms stopped. my point here is that the mind really does take over and we beed to realise that 9 times out 10 its our anxiety . what we have is a unhealthy mind not body .
i am worrying about hep c over a stupid mistake atm and i swear i have liver pain and lighter bowel movements . probably all in our heads . hope your feeling better .
