hypochondria

Hello, all! Let me start by saying that I admire the strength and care that you all seem to show through what can only lightly be described as a trying time. Truly, you are all an inspiration to people suffering, and those whom have even the smallest questions and feelings of (possible) ALS/MND...

Listen, I understand that tons of people post here thinking they have ALS. And I know how annoying it must be for those of you who actually have it to read these posts from people who don't have it and are just blowing things out of proportion. But I'd like some input into my situation. I mean...

Hello everyone! I am a 21-year-old Caucasian male with no history of ALS in my family. I have an anxiety disorder, along with hypochondria - I am reluctant to say that latter but know this is pertinent to disclose. A week and a half ago, I felt perfectly fine, no symptoms of ALS. Then I noticed...

My name is cade and I’m 15 years old. A couple days ago I started feeling weak in my right arm and then it spread to my right leg. It is also difficult to type with my right thumb due to it feeling slowed. I do have self-diagnosed anxiety or hypochondria. I have been feeling tired a lot more...

I’m 38, married with 3 young children, and I’m scared to the point of falling apart. I will keep the story as brief as possible. This year has been the most stressful of my life.

So I have had a "pain syndrome" since 2014-2015 in both my arms and I got everything tested for and everything seemed fine. I believe they checked for ALS, Cancer, Carpal Tunnel, etc. They didn't find anything wrong. I have recently been having a weird feeling in my upper left arm/hand and left...

Hello All, I am new to the community and I do not have ALS. I do however have extreme panic and anxiety disorder and hypochondria. On my relentless search for answers I have read countless articles and stories of PALS. I just want to take a second and thank you for all of the time and effort...

So I am finally doing what I didn't want to do. I've lurked this forum every day for about 4 months now. I have hypochondria and have had bouts with obsession over other various diseases. I've turned out to be diagnosed by none of them. So when I went into my ALS scare I still had a conscious...
