Hi.
I have had als for over 5 yrs now, before i noticed my first symptom stiffness in left ankle, I noticed the below problem.
This is very hard to explain but i will try my best.
For the past 5 yrs my spine seems to be extremely sensitive, when I sleep at night I get a numb tingling spot in the middle of my back (where a bra strap would join)when this happens and I'm laying on my side, it makes my Back arch, as tho someone has touched my back. (like when someone runs their finger down your spine)mine is 1000 times worse. when it first started it would happen more than 20 times during the night, now approx 5 times.
If I'm sitting up and someone touches my spine it also happens, please can you tell me what maybe causing this ? nerve, relfex...
