Hello. I suffer from health anxiety and am in a deep rabbit hole right now. I am looking for any sort of help right now as I am struggling hard.
About a month ago I started getting leg cramps, with twitching to soon follow. It’s all over my legs and now has spread to other parts of my body. Of course the first thing Dr. Google tells me is that twitching is one of the first signs of ALS. I am 100 percent consumed into thinking this is what I have. And am just waiting to start losing muscle strength. It is an awful way I am living, and I’m so scared. I know I need to stay off the health net, but I keep finding myself looking for a loophole to explain why my symptoms have presented. I have seen my GP and got blood tests all coming back normal. Still waiting on Mercury though. I have an appt with my neuro next month.
Please help talk me off this ledge. Is it possible I have ALS at age 39/female with no family history? I know you aren’t doctors, but I also know you have the wisdom I need when it comes to defining ALS.
Thank you so much for your time. It is so greatly appreciated.
