Thanks a million for this, @richman54660 and to the group. You asked me questions which no doctor has bothered to ask which is pretty awesome!

The one thing I’m panicking about is the possibility that I may have ALS....my Chiropractor suggested that I have Mayo check this out because none of the ‘typical’ meds for Fibromyalgia have worked for me and I have experienced progressive muscle weakness from the feet up...ALS is apparently ascending pain....and there’s a few times a month I do struggle to swallow food.

Any thoughts?

All my best! Slaínte 🍀

@mrea You do need to see a doctor. Of course, I'm not a medical doctor, so any suggestions need to be filtered through that knowledge. In your case, perhaps a neurologist? If it is a neuropathy that you have, it is not uncommon that they start far away and work their way up (this process is called "dying back". You could search for "dying back in neuropathy" and you'll see lots of articles. Supplements and healthy fats can help stabilize the nerves - see my other comment. I also sent you an e-mail message.
