ALS scare!
Posted , 7 users are following.
I have been freaked out about ALS for a few months when I started having muscle twitching. My left leg has been weak for about 5 weeks I think it's something in my back causing it but really convinced myself it's ALS. It's so bad that I am sick an don't wanna do nothing because of it. I am always checking my body to see if I can see any muscle atrophy an yesterday I was flexing my lower legs an when I flex it looks like the muscle goes in like a didn't but then when I release it looks normal again however my weak leg was bigger than the right. Is this normal when u flex like ur muscle tightens so it looks different until you let it out. I ask my husband an he said it was but it tells me that for everything because I drive him crazy. Is this just me over thinkin,

I used to workout a lot,I woke up with a really stiff neck,after a week of sitting around unable to train,I googled my symptom. Half way down the page,there was a lady complaining of having a stiff neck and she suffered from MS (she probably had anxiety),I was sick as a dog. I read up on MS,and guess what? I started getting other symptoms associated with MS,I googled my new symptoms,ended up on a Parkinsons website. Started to read up on Parkinsons,and within minutes of reading twitches was an early sign of parkinsons,I started to bleeden twitch (I kid you not). I remember staring at my thumb,and it developed a cramping feeling,then the twitches started,and they lasted 12 months. I then googled my new symptoms and guess where I ended? That's right,on the ALS site. I ended up in a right state,couldn't eat,sleep,talk properly,foggy brain,clumsiness (constantly tripping up),I even started hallucinating due to lack of sleep (red traces) and suffering panic attacks. I went to see the Dr,she sat me down told me something (I've repeated it loads of times on here so I won't bore you with it),and that was the day I got my life back on track. I gave my computer away,went back the gym and kept myself very busy. I was back to normal within 12 months,all without medication. I was given tablets,but it had no effect on my whatsoever,good or bad. Anxiety is beatable,but you've got to make drastic changes to your life. Getting shut of my computer wasn't that big of a deal to me,as I would have done anything to feel normal,but most on here come out in a cold sweat at the mere thought of giving up the internet connection.
