Well I have a feeling this is going to be a little long...sorry.....anyway I had a brother that was adopted out so I never really knew him....decided to try and find him later in life and did and found out he died from ALS....well being the worry wart I am that kinda freaked me out.....6 months went by and one day my calfs started hurting really bad so of course I did the worse thing I could have and looked it up on the Internet and it went straight to ALS....well then I went into the worst panic mode ever....I was so stressed out I started getting back spasms muscle twitches widespread....my tongue started hurting like it was burned...well its been 5 years later and I still have all the symptoms even the burning tongue. ...what's weird is my uvula looks longer and curls up when I breathe...sinuses have been screwed up for a couple years...have dry mouth I guess from sleeping with my mouth open.....my question is after 5 years would things be worse if it was ALS and as far as it being hereditary he's the only one that I know of on both sides of the family I know of....haven't been to the dr. because I know me and if I had it I would probably go into deep depression and that would be it......sorry. for the long letter....just wanted to know about the heredity thing and having it for 5 years
