Hon, the eye symptoms you describe had nothing to do with ALS, so if you are having eye problems get it checked as it will be something else and will be treatable.
It is true that you have as little chance of developing ALS as I have because my husband had it. One person in the family does not increase your chances by a single thing.
I know you say you can't afford a doctor, but we can't do anything but say you don't describe ALS to us, so you have to go to a doctor. Truly if you thought you had a disease like this you would need to get it checked in case it is something that can be treated if caught early! You can't just give up and think you are going to die.
Good luck pursuing this with a doctor, tell them clearly your fears.
