What do you guys think this is

I have a couple of things going on but I don’t have a diagnosis yet but wanted to see what you all think is going on. I have drop foot in my left ankle, weakness in my left shoulder with mild pain and also weakness in my left hand so basically overall weakness in my left side. And I can sleep all day and have brain fog. Do you all have any suggestions ideas or advice. I also have als and Parkinson’s that runs in my family

  1. What do your doctors say about your left sided symptoms?
    I came across this research article about Parkinson’s and one sided symptoms that I found interesting:

    Side‐of‐onset of Parkinson's disease in relation to neuropsychological measures:

    Course medical diagnoses and advice need to come from your medical providers but perhaps the article will help open more conversations with your medical providers. I hope you get some answers soon!
