just going crazy i guess. i have had a lot of neurological problems, first ones starting about 4 years ago, then disapearing, and a few of them came back recently starting with headaches and double vision. i know those things are definately not related to als, but then i got twiches all over, everywhere you can imagine and made the huge mistake of google searching to see what my problem was. after reading way too much, my symptoms got worse, i have no weakness anywhere, but i listen to my speech and now it sounds different to me, but i have done all the ridiculous strength tests and everything seems to be very strong, i can whistle and yell, but my jaw definately deviates to the left when i open my mouth. thats something i can't be making up. i know there are probably a few reasons this could happen, but i am one of those unfortunate souls that will obsess relentlessly. the fact that all of my original symptoms ALL point away from als is comforting, even if they do point to something that could in fact be pretty serious. and the fact that i had the twitches several years ago, then through distraction, or whatever, they went away for years. if my mouth feels strong, and my body too, then do i still have to worry? is the jaw deviation any indicator of als, or is that yet another thing that may point to something else? by the way i am only 27-female.
