Hi there Megan. Sometimes what we think is thorough is not the same as what a doctor thinks is thorough. As I said before the chances of you having ALS are pretty remote. It can happen but it is rare for a person as young as you to get it. Comprehension and memory problems are not usual symptoms of ALS in a younger person. Frontal temporal dementia is usually found in quite older people. For you to have this would be like the odds of winning the Super Ball Lottery. I still think there is something else going on that you may not even be aware of. I'd wait another few weeks and see if anything gets worse and if it does go to your family doctor and ask to see a Neurologist experienced in Motor Neuron Diseases. Try to relax and don't think bad things every time you notice the slightest difference in the way you feel. Don't forget you are still young and some hormones might be just trying to catch up. Take care. Al.
