I am fearing that I may have ALS. Here are my symptoms. It has been about a month since my symptoms started. I am a 25 year old male. I am having an off balance feeling when walking and my right side of my body, especially my arm feels week. The weakest part of my arm is my pinky finger. I can still life heavy things, although I feel uncoordinated. I have been self-testing myself (i.e. fanning my fingers against resistance, walking on heels, toes, heel-toe walk)...I can do all of them. I am also fearing some atrophy in my right hand. I am also experiencing muscle twitching in my calves, stomach arms and face. I am also experiencing slight cramping in various muscles, especially in my right forearm, bicep and hand.

I am still able to run 2 miles on the treadmill, curl weights, do push-ups, etc.

I have visited my GP twice...and he has performed mini-neuro exams. He test my strength in my arms and legs and reflexes. He said everything is fine. I asked him if I had ALS and he said NO.

He ordered blood work and an MRI. My blood work came back with slightly elevated liver enzymes and calcium. I am going for my MRI tomorrow.

I am scared to death! This fear is ruining my life.

Do I need to worry...or can I trust my GP?

Please provide feeback!!!! I am so scared!!!
