Hello,
Im 22 year old male from Czech republic. I was always anxious about my health (too much as doctors say).
A 3 months ago I got tremor - my muscles shake a bit. It was during an exams on the university.
I read about Wilson disease and got panic attack. It was terrible. Some time later I got muscle twitches - everywhere on my body. Just 2-3 fires. Its better now, I got only few twitches per day.
I saw 3 neuros - all told me its from my mind and I got antidepressives and Rivotril (Klonopin). No EMG - they just test my reflexes and so and told me all is OK.
But a few days I was stupidly researching if Im able to clench my teeth symetrically. From this my chewing muscles got tired very quick. I dont know if its weakness-I just had to wait a few seconds and its OK.
Few days ago I also noticed my swallowing is worse - I feel ĺike I have to swallow twice to complete it. I knew that this is ALS symptom and my mind is really strong (if I was affraid of MS- I feel pins and needles in my hands for hours), but Im scared to death of ALS. My anxiety is killing me. I would be very thankful for any comments of people who know this nasty disease...
You all are brave, very brave people, I envy you and wish you the best!
