    I’m 27 and was diagnosed with ALS on August 18th, 2021. Overtime the disease really comes to light & makes daily living difficult. It’s really tough to live with honestly. I’ve lost a lot of weight, lost mostly all my strength, & my muscles atrophied a lot. I played college football & was healthy all my life but now I’m like a total different person. I don’t really notice myself when I look in the mirror. ALS really does strip you of everything..

    What a devastating disease this is... My mom has been diagnosed with ALS this summer, it started with numbness in her right leg then it quickly moved to her arm, her other leg and arm aswell in just a couple of weeks. Now we're only three months later and she can't walk or even sit on her own anymore, last week she complained about how heavy her plate of food was dificult to lift, now this week even a cup of cofee is starting to be too heavy. And today... We noticed she started to have difficulties to speak, even her voice has changed. Our neurologist told us she has a really fast growing case of ALS...
    I decided to move back with her at home to help her as much as I can but having severe Haemophilia myself, it is really difficult to avoid bleeding in my joints when I lift her up a dozen times per day but I dont care about the pain, at some point it goes away. ALS wont go away unfortunately...
    Lots of thoughts to those diagnosed / or taking care of a close one with ALS, it's horrible :(

      Not in our case. Blew us completely off. Told my husband if he had ALS, Bedlack would be writing a book about him. He and Davenport diagnosed my husband with anxiety and depression. Didn't even listen to his lungs when my husband complained of difficulty breathing. If he had, maybe they could have stopped the pneumonia caused by choking that killed him 2 weeks later. Primary cause of death: pneumonia Secondary: ALS
      You can read my medical complaint regarding the neglect my husband suffered from these two "caring" people. Just feel people need to know the truth. All that glitters is not gold.

    My ALS onset started with my right thumb cramping, then weeks later severe calf cramping. Quadriceps fasciculations were next, then hamstring muscle cramping & fasciculations. No weakness until 6 months later when my left ankle was noticeably weak. Inherited the C9orf72. My progression is slow. About to start a clinical trial that’s ASO based.

    Very terrible disease, my mother passed away with ALS within 2 year of diagnosis. Things start with difficulty in speaking followed by muscle spasms within 2-3 months. And then with each passing day she was losing everything. At last stage she face difficulty in breathing and went on ventilator within 3 days. After that within a week she passed away. She was every thing to me. Never thought she will go like that.
    My family doctor Told me it is in family tree from my mother side. Because her grandfather was also died with ALS.

    I been to several doctors over the past 6 years and still undiagnosed. I've only had MRIs, cat scans and x-rays. Nothing out of the ordinary on my scans. My symptoms started with sharp stabing pains in abdominal and lower back with muscle spasms/twitching and inability to hold urine. Symptoms improved after a couple weeks. Twitching and sharp stabing pain however never went away. Then twitching ( sometimes contant spasms/hundreds a day) spread to my main torso, back, legs and arms over 6 years. Along with foot cramping. Constant mid/upperback pain and not sure how it started but gets extremely irritated and worse when laying on it. I get numbness and tingling in my arms and legs. Then about 2 years ago I got spasms in my ears which cause vertigo. Notice some weakness here and there but not Constant. Lots of tightness in traps/midback. Get super fatigued like I worked out for hours but didn't do anything (this mainly occurs in my neck and mid upper back). Involuntary finger movement begain about 2 years ago. Had two episodes where I could barley lift my head and couldnt drive because braking strained/fatigued my head to much. Then full arm and leg jerks/ Involuntary movement started this year. Now most recent I get a Constant lump in the throat feeling. New symptoms just seem to increase and progress overtime. I'm not sure what I have but definitely seems neurological. Looking to start seeing a neurologist again but so sick of no answers and being dismissed. Wish you all the best. Thanks for reading.

      I am very sorry for your situation and I hope that this is simply from your nerve injury. However, if you are still searching for answers, tr to find a doctor who actually listens to you. My husband's ALS started with cramps and muscle fasciculations. Because he was so physically strong, his weakening muscles did not register with our pathetic neurologists, the one doing this video and another one. They diagnosed him with anxiety and depression. Several other drs. asked if it wasn't ALS, but not the "experts" we had. I say all this to say that I have learned the extreme importance of being your own advocate. Keep fighting until someone listens and takes you seriously. Get the help and answers you need, especially for your children. Wishing the best for you.

  • @Tina-ku1ti
    @Tina-ku1ti 7 місяців тому +2

    I am at a crossroads of being concerned or not. My first visit to the neurologist she mentioned ALS, but said she thinks it's probably benign fasciculation. Okay...so even though I then looked up ALS, and was horrified, I decided maybe she accidentally spoke outloud before making sure it might be a possibility. I had an EMG, she found a little something, but still opted for BFS. After second EMG and increased fasciculations, she gave me options of larger research facilities for a second opinion as well as PT to increase lower strength. No MRI though, my last for my brain was years ago... Now I am concerned. If she thought it was benign why send me 4 hours away? Is that normal? Why not a fellow neurologist in her own office? It is very difficult not to research anything, especially now, and I have more questions than answers.

    I hope you’re doing ok. I have major health anxiety and have expressed concern over Als or ms. About 3 years ago I noticed my right foot went a little number and I noticed I was having constant faculations on the back of my calf’s. Fast forward to about 3 months ago, I decided to go to a family doctor who said it was nothing. The worst case scenario it would’ve been poly neuropathy because I wore boots all the time when working in construction. My EMGs also came back and said just one nerve in each of my legs was “slower” than what it’s supposed to be. I finally was referred to a neurologist because I would always feet for the worst. He didn’t an extremely fast and quick body check, did basic exercises and he also deemed it wasn’t serious and I don’t have to worry about it. However, I’ve had weakness in my right kneecap for a while, my thumbs on both hands get stiff (for a couple weeks they were numbish but it calmed down), and it seems as though I’ve lost a little bit of sensations with my hands. I also have the throat issue where it feels like something’s stuck when you eat, and my calf fascinations are constant. I’ve noticed since my neurologist visit a month ago that I sometimes get spur attic and random twitch’s across my whole body. I also experience poor balance and a little bit of arm weakness when I stretch them out, but nothing extreme. I’m just convinced I have the beginning stages but I really don’t know what to think.

    After 3 days injection normally it was 10 my whole body feels very light but my weight stays the same till now.
    The EMG and blood results in may was normal.
    My symptoms are very light body , arms and legs
    Cold inside
    Spasmen, stiffness
    Something is melting away in body and returns into cold air
    None of the doctors can explain me already 8 month what I have.

    ❤️HEALTH UPDATE: My Jan 12th 2022 Iowa City Neurology visit has had both amazing results and yet mind boggling disappointments!
    Only recently did I read all the results, on the papers given to me from Iowa City ( after looking for the date / time for the next appointment and realizing that I had not been given new appointment date ) and this, even after expressing my concerns about my recent near death experience on Jan 2nd, ( ? )
    * On 1-2-2022 - I went from feeling fine to all the bulbar onset symptoms attacking at once, as well as my central nervous system short circuiting, to where my body temperature, heart beat, blood pressure, breathing, inability to talk, drooling, w/ extreme nausea, cardiovascular, etc, all were greatly effected at once, which overwhelmed me, and to where I needed E.M.T.’s, an Ambulance ride and spent a few hours in the local hospital E.R.
    1.) I have steadily reversed the symptoms of A.L.S. to the point that, now, they are officially stating that I don’t have A.L.S.!!
    WOOHOO, RIGHT? ( No, not exactly. )
    2.) I’ve proven that it’s my Central Nervous System that’s short circuiting, and that most of my additional symptoms are not from ALS, that this latest near death experience, and most of the others, as most of these bodily malfunctions come from the neck, of which after my major neck surgery on August 7th, 2018, I never regained my strength.
    3.) Dr Nance ( Iowa City Neurology ) He expressed his thoughts with me, as being: It’s not that they screwed up my neck surgery but that the neck surgery stopped further damage” ( in his mind, that my having an extremely high tolerance to pain had allowed my nerves to be damaged as I waited for years after discovering I had 5 swollen discs and 3 pinched nerves in my neck, ( approximately 20011 / 2012 ) and because I didn’t have the neck surgery until Aug 2018.
    4.) According to him my neck surgery is why I’m healing but if this is his analogy/ his theory, then …Q: Why have I recently had the worst near death experience ever?
    5.) And another …Q: Why has he made my next appointment over 6 months away?
    ( And he did so, after I openly expressed my concerns, that my life is in more danger now, than ever before? )
    6.) I let my thoughts be known, to the woman I spoke with on the phone in Iowa City - that I won’t live 6 months, if steps aren’t taken ASAP to find out what’s causing my central nervous system to go haywire!!
    7.) So, When I called Iowa City Neurology, I gave my concerns, my complaints, requested another Lyme disease test, and I asked for them to give me a referral to see a different neurologist, as I view mine as incompetent and uncaring, so Iowa City is sending me papers to sign, which will give my new Neurologist permission to view my medical records from Iowa City, Neurology, speech therapy, physical therapy, etc, etc
    8.) An up-to-date on my recent / current / ongoing symptoms, which are off / on, are:
    9.) Breathing issues - different body positions effect lung capacity, lungs range from barely opening to opening more than usual, fully or nearly full capacity.
    10.) Cardiovascular- Was previously, steadily improving and doing great, blood vessels were clearly visible & bulging, reminded me of how they use to look when I worked out. ( In feet & hands only )
    - Now, however, cardiovascular is suffering, it varies a lot, mostly with blood vessels either barely seen or not visible at all, which gets worse, occurs when I have breathing issues, which is common, now it’s an every day occurrence again, …
    - so I’ve laid off most of the supplements and started consuming more nutrients from natural sources, started consuming more foods, and fasting less.
    11.) Mild Heart Palpitations / Skips A Beat / Or Beats Fast Momentarily - Even when at rest. ( Breathing is effected simultaneously when this occurs. )
    - I’ve had these problems before, now they’re back and they’re worse.
    12.) Speech - On September 24th, I regained my normal voice back, again, for the first time in a long time, although it still comes & goes, I have it less & less now, and it varies greatly, my voice is still not as bad as it used to be. I remember well what it was like to not be able to talk at all so I’m very grateful that I’m still able to talk. 👍
    13.) Walking - I’m still walking, w/ out assistance but only short distances. Legs are still stable, at times shaky, like before but now I’m stronger than all previous tests. 👍
    14.) Body Is No Longer Rigid - I Can Touch My Toes/ Trim My Own Nails -
    15.) Ankles & Hands No Longer Ache When I Bend Them -
    16.) I Recently discovered that I can once again lay flat on my back without discomfort, and without it causing breathing difficulties!! ( This is the first time in many years that I’ve been able to lay / sleep flat on my back ) 👍
    16.) Body Temp Issues - Hot / Cold - As before, these symptoms have returned, daily.
    17.) Hand Strength Has Returned ( can pick up a chair again with left hand ) - Although Hand strength varies, I can tell that most of the time it’s stronger than it’s been since my 10-7-2018 neck surgery-
    18.) Started recently ( mainly ) having discomfort / aches & pains at the base of my skull, from backside of one ear clear across to the other side as well as in my neck, head, shoulders, and shoulder blade areas although they’re brief, they’re becoming more often.
    - Going to make a chiropractor appointment just to make sure my body is in correct alignment.
    19.) Started recently having more fasciculations ( involuntary muscle twitches ) again, in both left & right legs, as well as mainly right hand but also the left.
    20.) Muscle wasting continues - I used to have muscular 16” arms, now I’m guessing they’re about 10”.
    ( * but some muscles have gained strength over the past 3 years, for example: 3+ years ago my left hand could barely lift a pillow, whereas most days now, my left hand can lift a chair )
    21.) I’ve spent most of the past 2+ years finding out which foods heal / strengthen and detox the body, as well as how to read labels, learn which foods to avoid, as well as studying biochemistry and more recently, added neuroscience, in order to do what Dr.’s said is impossible: my staying alive!!
    22.) There are many MND’s ( Motor Neuron Diseases ) and many illnesses which effect the Central Nervous System. If you’re aware of what I could do or take which would help me, please, I need all the help I can get, as so far, my neurologists haven’t helped one iota!!
    - So far, it’s been my desire to live, and my own extensive non-stop searching ( on UA-cam ) to which I’ve gained enough knowledge to carry myself this far, ( nutrition ) which has enabled me not only to stay alive but also to walk and talk, again!! ( TY, GOD!! ) but the battle is not over.
    I could use a few more prayers.
    Prayers Matter!! 🙏⚡️

      Charles, Thank you for reaching out. Keep in mind that just because you are experiencing some symptoms does not mean you have ALS! Dr. Bedlack cannot answer your question directly, but we recommend making an appointment to see a neurologist. You will likely need to make an appointment with your primary care physician and explain your symptoms first. They may run their own tests, or you can ask to be referred to a neurologist, who will run tests to rule things out and these will help them tell you what may be going on with the twitching and pain. If there are still concerns, you can search for a neurologist who specializes in ALS on our ALS Clinics Directory at www.youralsguide.com/als-clinics. It might also be helpful to learn more about ALS symptoms, diagnosis, and more at www.youralsguide.com/about-als. We hope this helps, Your ALS Guide

      What makes you anxious? For me it is primarily health anxiety. If i read about diseases or disorders, I'm almost 100% certain I have those disorders. Also the thought of being anxious or having a panic attack makes me anxious. At worst I couldn't leave the house without a panic attack because I was so afraid of having one. The trick that did it for me is to take control of the situation as best as I can and force myself to go towards these fears. Getting some exposure at my own pace. At times I needed the help of my friends with this. Just watching over me as I did it so I wouldnt die. Its a bit embarassing since im 33 but it had a positive effect. In time the brain will realize that having a panic attack wont kill me, and it simply stopped producing them... When new, scary things arise, I have to do that battle all over again. it could last for weeks or months.... My latest Demon is my bed. I'm super scared of not getting any sleep. That fear is often preventing me from sleeping. So now I'm getting used to not sleeping, so that the fear of not sleeping will slowly disappear. The progress is slow and there are bad days and good days.

      No, it is not…twitching is a result of neurons dying, you would likely have significant symptoms of clinical weakness and wasting.
      Clinical weakness is not a feeling, it’s complete failure to perform a task with a particular appendage or muscle group.
      Feeling weak is much different then being weak.

      Hey sabri how you doing? Most probably you have already looked this up but twitching is rarely a first symptom, if it was it should also be running pararel with lack of strength and loss of function

      @@corinnastark713 Functional impairment is typically distal in ALS (it starts with the hands/feet). It can be proximal (shoulders/hips) in rare cases, but other diagnoses should be considered first. Talk to your doctor.
