Hello, I’m a 16 year old Caucasian male. I play tennis pretty much every day for three hours usually. For the past couple of months I have had non stop twitching everywhere from tounge to my legs. I went to my doctor about this issue and she’s ran weakness tests and took blood work and she said I was completely normal but had anxiety related twitching. I believed her and couple weeks went by and my neck and back went super stiff. I went to play tennis and I had tingling and (percieved i dont know) weakness through my arms and legs. I just need some reassurance that I am not going to lose my body and not be able to grow up into a man. I am able to run and lift weights but somewhere I keep coming up with the tingling, twitching and fatigue are early symptoms of als. I keep bugging my parents about it and they are super annoyed and pissed off that I’m mentioning a terminal disease when the doctor said I’m fine. Don’t mean to be disrespectful or rude just need you’re opinion. I also get pins and needles and a sore throat that seems to go away and come back. Sorry to bother you, just this obsessive thought is ruining my academic, athletic and social life. My parents say that I have lost weight which is not good because I have normal weight for my BMI I’m not sure if this weight loss is because of anxiety and not eating or something like als. Thanks
