Is this ALS or something related?

I have been having some recent symptoms lately that slightly relate to the symptoms of ALS. First, I have been having some weakness in my right hand, specifically in my index finger and thumb. Second, I have been having fasciculations in my left hand for about a month or so, in all of the fingers at this point. I noticed this week that my right hand is also having fasciculations now, only in the thumb. Does this sound like ALS? What else can I look for?

Disregard this post. I already have a thread on this and it looks like my girlfriend started one as well.
