Mysterious illness, the doctors don't know what it is

Do you think it could be a nerve problem if there is swelling and synivitis. Is there a possibility that it is ALS if I get better and not worse over time. Als is the disease I fear the most in the world.

I do think it would be good to get nerve conduction testing and EMGs to test how your nerves have been affected by synivitis and gout as soon as possible to prevent further nerve damage. Take one day at a time and try to get root cause of your symptoms. It would be good to follow a diet that limits/reduces animal proteins (increase plant proteins), reduce sugars and eliminate alcohol due to gout to prevent flares. I am having major neurological problems and getting a new neurologist for updated testing to check function and rule out MS. Try not to worry about ALS until you get more tests from a neurologist. They will also do specialized blood work tied to your nervous system. Hang in there and let me know how I can help share my learning with you (I have been on my health journey for answers since 2011).
