Hello
I am a 19 yo female.
My story with health anxiety begins 28/12/16, when I woke up with a "heavy felling" in both of my arms, and I said to myself... What if I have als?, with that simple thought it began... I didnt realize that that feelling could have been a result of me carrying heavy shopping bags the day before.
I began to google and to experience every symptom: muscular pain, buzzing, dificulty swallowing and the one that remains until today and the most annoying one: body wide twitches.
Damn these twitches, I wish I could be normal again! I want to carry on with my life but these twitches have me restless, I cant socialize because I am always thinking about them, I barely leave my house and I am beggining to think I am depressed.
I have tried everything to make them go away: hot baths, exercise, magnesium pills, valium but the only thing that seems to work a bit is getting distracted, which is absolutely really hard.
I just want to get on with my life...

And I know the chances of a 19 yo having als are barelly zero, but still I think I might be the exception...
