I just wanted to share .
For the last year I’ve spent a lot of time on this site reading threads from as far back as 2010.
spent a lot of time reading every new thread .
I was convince I had ALS . To be honest I’m not 100 percent over the idea that I don’t have it but I’m getting there .
my symptoms ? Non top calf twitching . Body wide twitching , neck issues , throat issues
Soreness and fatigue .
had a lot of blood work done and it annoyed me that everything came fine which fed me more on the idea it was ALS . I didn’t even have an MRI or EMG done because my doctors didn’t think it was necessary and that annoyed me more .
mine of my scariest symptoms was 24:7 twitching / tingling on my toe fingers . Instead of getting a referral to a neurologist my dr referred me to a podiatrist .
Actually today marks the anniversary of when my symptoms started .
I fail to believe it was anxiety but it actually played a big part of all this . One thing I didn’t mentioned was my mom suffered from severe anxiety , forgot the name of the medical term but she used to pull her hair out out of anxiety it was pretty bad , my brothers not all but some suffered from panic attacks.
My therapist said anxiety can be genetic . Didn’t know that .
anyway my face and jaw , would twitch , my eyes . My chin . Mouth .
instead of getting referred to a neurologist I got referred to a dentist . Do you guys know how annoying that is ?
anyway my dentist found out that I had bruxism . Didn’t noticed until she pointed that out but I constantly grind my teeth and press down hard which gave me weird headaches , jaw pain and twitching , can even cause eye twitching .
Also noticed my postured is horrible and going to be checked out for my neck ,
the podiatrist found a Morton neuroma , which causes tingling and twitching on toe fingers . Irritating nerves went as far to make my calf twitch .
I had so many things going on at once that led to more anxiety .
it started with a weird gastric symptom year that led to months of severe anxiety and a wild imagination and Google hurted me and made things worse.
Anyway my doctors said it isn’t ALS and said I had no symptom of ALS . Thank you all I wish everyone well . I was so convinced o had it to the point it feels weird now knowing I don’t have ALS . Guys , anxiety is a real thing , I thought I was immune to it but it can happen to anyone . Slowly things going back to normal might even hit the gym again after a whole year .
