Hello my name is Jordan I am 23 years old, I have been scared and worried for the past 9 weeks thinking I’ve got ALS/MND, it all started off with me sitting with my partner and tried to take a sip of my cup of tea and I felt I couldn’t swallow so I then had a panic attack which lasted 1 hour to 1 an a half, since then I’ve had swallowing problems but I don’t know if it is because I am focusing on my Swallowing I then started having breathing difficulties again focusing on my breathing which made it irregular, then I started getting muscle twitches and this has been all over legs arms back chest hands fingers thumbs tongue eyes the lot, my thumbs feel stiff at times like I normally play my PlayStation to ease some stress and anxiety it’s always been a calmer for me but I haven’t been able to sit and play on my PlayStation cause I’m scared my thumbs feel stiff, I have a child and a pregnant partner I keep looking at them and crying uncontrollably because I keep thinking I’ve got MND/ALS, I have spoken to my doctor he laughed at me and said I don’t have MND/ALS I’ve had 2 blood tests 3 heart ECG’s and a chest x-ray all have came back clear, I’m so scared I keep checking my biceps triceps calves thighs pectorals and thumb muscles and muscle in between pointer finger and thumb I’m really scared, I have read the sticky’s before posting but thought to get somebody else’s opinion
