The last couple of days...
I have accepted i am dying. It's ALS. Another hideous autoimmune disease.
What CONFIRMED it for me today was that i was experiencing (and have been for ages now), severe weakness, internal vibrations and twitches in my body, especially my legs - so i finally gave up and took a diazepam to make it go away, because it WOULD if i was ONLY experiencing 'anxiety'..... and low and behold, the symptoms remained, all fucking day long.
When i stand on my legs they are so very weak, they shake, i have NO strength in the any more...not only that, right now even with no weight on them, the vibrations are terrible and the twitching - the same. This is all to do with the nerves responding to the muscle dying.
I have tingling in my right foot when i touch the top of it which runs down into my numb little toe and 4th toe. My ulnar nerve also right side is so sensitive and i have no strength in my little finger what-so-ever.
I can barely get a sentence out without slurring either... I have given up.
I am exhausted. I just want the diagnoses.
I've started getting things in order now for when i am no longer here. I need to do it while i still have strength in my hands to carry out tasks.
