Symptoms
55 year old male
- Calf tightness started 3 months ago. In the beginning it was just at the end of the day but it is now all day..
- Twitching all over body now in the fourth week
- No clinical weakness but weird fatigue in hands and thumbs are sore sometimes.
- Left hand feels bonier
- Went to PCP and he thinks I have neuropathy
which has similar symptoms. He gave me a bunch of neuro skill tests. Passed all except no reflexes in arms, light reflexes in legs.
I asked him if he thought ALS he said no because lack of reflexes are symmetrical.
Having trouble getting a neuro appt - 6 months out.
Good news:
- Still have full strength. Walk 10k steps/day, can do 13 25 lb curls, 20 pushups
Having trouble sleeping last few months not due to worry but my free T4 is high (possible hyperthyroidism) but TSH is normal. Weird thing is lack of sleep I dont feel tired usually.
