Been having fatigue and headaches for 1 yr.  Lately 10 weeks ago got joint pain on left knee, then a couple  of weeks  later joint soreness in elbows wrist, and fingers....finger feel bruised at times, mild pain radiates down arm at times.both hands right worse at times.  Been to two neurologist  and they both both dismissed my concerns saying it's not ms or als that I need to see rheumatologist. ...but this feels neurology related.  Did mri of spine and brain.  Doc said brain looked good other than cyst on skull base benign  no treatment needed.  But I just got results os spine mri, head Mri, they were good.  
I'm having joint pain in hands, wrists,  fingers,  elbows, with fatigue,  lump throat feeling getting worse,Plus itchy  face especially around nose.this has been going on for over 3 months. Is this ALS OR MS?  I'M scared please help.  I have 1 year old son.

Absolutely not.   Not the slightest chance you have this rare disease. No way no how.

Woke up dizzy, with sore calves, and fore arms does that change anything?
