Id kill to lift 30 lbs again-I cant lift a 4 lb laptop

Hi Brandon,
First, you don't have ALS. Nothing you wrote sounds anything like ALS.
dizzy, spaced out, heavy head, feeling weak, sore calves, and heavy arms have nothing to do with ALS. Twitches can be anything.
Second, these feelings are a good sign: ALS doesn't have the "feelings" that you describe
Glad to see you don't have ALS. I understand you are worried about it, but since you don't have it, you would be better served by going to a website that deals with healthcare worries.

Mike, you need to write a primer on patience and kindness. keep it short sso I can read it daily :)!
 
Just an observation! Noticed our forum "tough guys" have been much softer, kinder in responding to worried young people! Know it taxes your patience when you have to respond over and over, but you are doing a great job of allaying fears while getting the point across. Thanks for taking the time to gently guide these stressed out kids! Hugs to all of you. Donna
 
Donna, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Harumph!

:)
