fair enough

thank you for the link... I have read it After responses from a few people I now understand that It doesn't seem like my symptoms match with ALS. My concern was with the stiffness I am having and the twitches occurring in the same areas as the stiffness. Thanks again.

I also do understand your motive now...ithink. That to get across a point to people with health anxiety you have to be harsh or they will not take it for what it is worth.

I completely understand what all of you with comments directed towards me are saying. I understand your frustration based on the fact that you all don't believe I have ALS and that I continue to ask questions. My questions were being asked for the purpose of learning more about the disease and I...

It is not attention i am after at all... I have questions and I am completely new to this forum. I did not know it worked that way and that I should have just posted them on top of the same thread. I can understand why you would be annoyed with that, but at the same time there is no reason for...

Yo don't sound mean, I understand, thank you

sorry to be asking so many questions lately, but one more question I have is does the spasticity or stiffness associated with ALS lessen upon relaxing or is it felt constantly? Also does resting relieve the spasticity at all? last question is does the spasticity feel relatively like cramping...

Thank you so much for your response and I know your right I should have never even started my own internet diagnosing, it was just hard for me to hold back my worry and curiosity and the internet seemed like an outlet to find out what is wrong. Turns out it makes it worse just as you said...

and move on*

Thanks a lot and Im glad you can relate to me...your advice works..I know getting outside and being with friends takes my mind away from my health scares, It has just been hard for me to get up move on. Thanks again.

thanks for your response

I am seeing my doctor again in a week and going from there...honestly I can't thank you enough for your quick and kind response, means a lot to me. I've just have been stressing over this non stop and I am looking for some guidance from more experienced people.
