Hi,

So I have had neck, leg and arm pain for a few months now on my right side and now suddenly I have random twitching in my eyelid and chin I also alway feel parched and have recently found it hard to swallow all which are early signs of ALS am quietly fearing I have ALS and don’t know what to do any advice would be great

Have you gone to the doctor with my first step.

Yes they said pulled muscle from posture

First I want to say I’m not a doctor and I have no medical experience whatsoever but in my experience twitching in your eyelid and chin could be as simple as nerves from you being tired. Being parched could it be dry in your house are you drinking enough water try to think of other things simple things that it could be. I’m not trying to downplay any of your symptoms but if you’re like me sometimes we get on the Internet and we Google all our symptoms and find some diagnosis that only makes us more anxious. I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you I greatly appreciate your response! A lot of my issues are postural based, coming down it a cold and slamming my arm into a wall/playing sports. I freak out with the fear of given Time to live and something like that happening especially as I have 2 kids am the sole income and realizing how much my family would lose

Did you get any further with diagnosing your symptoms? I’ve been having similar symptoms for the past 5 months
