I'm 18 and just graduated highschool, over summer I haven't done anything (complete lack of exercise) just been laid back and hanging with friends and playing video games and whatnot like your average teen.
i've always had bad anxiety, when I first started having GERD I freaked out over heart attack for weeks.
Now, in the beginning of July I had pain in my left arm, and I had a full blown panic attack over if I'm having a heart attack and ever since then I've gone downhill. During that month I started getting muscle twitches everywhere (it can be anywhere, stomach, back, jaw, thigh, calve, you name it I've had a twitch there). Since then I've also had little pains everywhere in my body that lasted a few seconds, those seem to have gotten a bit better without worrying about heart attack so it seems... But ever since learning about ALS I've noticed how fatigued/weak my legs are. I can do everything fine with them, but they feel weak to me and it seems like I have to do a lot more effort to do things but it's not impossible. Sitting here with my feet on the ground my thighs seem to be the most fatigue'd and it's been freaking me out. I've been tired everyday and rest doesn't seem to do much even with 9-12 hours of sleep (I stay up late, but I go to sleep around the same time every night).
And then I read people have started with fatigue'd muscles and I am now into a full blown panic attack. It's hard for me to sleep at night thinking about this stuff and if you're diagnosed with this horrible disease I'm sorry
Feel free to make fun of me if it doesn't sound like ALS to you, but that would probably relieve some stress unless this somehow does sound like ALS to you. I still get muscle twitches and whatnot everywhere including the legs still.
My parents think it's chronic fatigue syndrome and said to get more exercise and get the blood flowing.
