A few nights ago we had a thunderstorm, and I thought I was going to be struck my lightning because I realized my feet were tingly. That frightened me for the rest of the night- but I was relieved it didn't happen. Instead, the tingling stayed!
I also have consistent little twitching of my muscles- mostly in my legs. In the past year they had been pretty bad- starting with an irritable tick in my left eyelid.
The other day I had a striking pain in my right knee- and by the end of the day, my leg was hurting from my knee to my upper thigh.
The next day the same happened in my right arm- starting with my elbow, then running up to my shoulder.
I've plenty of anxiety and stress symptoms in my stomach as well- which had intensified in the last year, despite my 'content' environment.
Otherwise, it wasn't until last night I was browsing Google- when I came across ALS symptoms. I was surprised that I could relate to them, but what do you suppose?
I am 18 years old- and a vegetarian. :)
I'm fairly worried, of course, I just want to finish writing my books, and I'm not to concerned what happens to me then. I hope ALS is as peaceful as it sounds... :(
My mom once told me I was going to die from lung scarring- and I had two years to live, but that was her diagnosis and paranoia, and I don't live with her anymore :mrgreen: -- so you can imagine that death doesn't entirely frighten me as much anymore, because I've already felt like I was going to die- and was at peace with myself. Other brushes with death-sensations-- well...seeing a big shooting star and thinking I was going to die within a second. *I made some last second prayers to God and told him I loved him, etc* and thinking a cloud was a tsunami wave.
I just hope these symptoms are coincidental, like everything else in my life XD
