Is this ALS?
by Kathy599, Jul 21, 2008 05:51PM
Hi: Several months ago I started experiencing urinary frequency for about a month. My GP said there was a large amount of protein in my urine and referred me to specialist. During this time I noticed that I had lost some muscle mass around my chest and thighs. My legs would shake when I went on my daily walks and I was having a lot of twitching all over my body. I also noticed that the rings on my hands were loose. I am very worried as I know that loss of muscle is a sign of ALS. Could you please comment on these symptoms? Thank you so much for your time.

I understand your fears and urge you to keep pressing your doctors for a diagnosis. But I caution you not to try to diagnose yourself or ask the members of this site to do so. Leave it to the professionals or you'll just give yourself more stress than you need right now.
