Bad anxiety over als sorry

[Coopd]

So my fear started overyear ago when a friends friend become diagnosed with mnd only around 38 and we had a charity event we went to and seeing him destoryed me him been so young with a young family and then it got me worried down the track when I noticed twitches on me shoulder biceps calf left side right side even my tounge feels weird at times and I did the almighty and googled it and als came up and my heart sank and now I've have this continuous anxiety about getting it I've been to 2 doctors that I know and delt with your years and they weren't to worried they know I suffer from health anxiety.
I haven't lost any strength that I know of I can bench 70kgs and deadlift 110kgs and go for walks with my family I'm not stumbling but when I wake up in the morning my toes are abit stiff (guessing cause I always move them to make sure I haven't had any muscle loss)
My right little fingerknuckle aches probably cause I make a fist to see my strength
So sorry for wasting your time but any feedback would be appreciated I'm sure it's all just feed off my anxiety

Nothing you describe sounds like ALS but it does sound like you've worked yourself into a frenzy over your friend's diagnosis.

My father died from ALS. Talk about imagining that every muscle twitch might mean something. You just have to realize that your mind can manifest physical symptoms under stress and understand that ALS is a rare disease with the odds in favor of you not developing it.

As Mike said, get on with your life and forget about having a terminal illness. Seek help for your anxiety if it becomes uncontrollable, but thankfully you don't belong here.
