I've read the stickies, and understand that you all are going to tell me to go to a doctor, however I don't have that option. I am a 16 year old male, poor diet, slightly overweight, never exercise, sit all day, and my sleep pattern is anywhere from 5 to 12 hours. For around a year or so, I started noticing twitching in my abdomen, which I originally associated with a parasite... However the past few weeks, I've been getting a lot of twitching absolutely everywhere in my body. Stomach, arms, feet, no hands, but I had a persistent twitch for around 3 days located in one area, which has now subsided. And today, after I started researching ALS, I learned that muscle weakness was the #1 sign. After reading that, I realized that my muscles were pretty weak in my arms. I can't clench a very tight fist, sort of like when you first wake up. Now, I am a SEVERE hypochondriac, and my life has been ruined from it. I have fears of parasites, and now I have this fear of ALS, but according to the internet I have all the symptoms. I am only 16, so I know this is rare, but I'm not ready to die. ): Someone please help reassure me that it could be something else, but be honest, if you think I have it, just tell me.
The reason I can't go to the doctor is because my mother won't take me. She knows that out of every fear or disease I've had for years, not one of them was real. Thanks a ton guys, God bless.
