What are the earliest symptoms of als?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle weakness: About 60-70% of patients develop this symptom. Also unusual muscle cramps or twitching caused by motor neuron degradation. ALS is a very difficult disease to diagnose and based on examination and series of diagnostic tests and ruling out other diseases. Take care.
