Hi, I am suffering from a ALS fear and I'm pressuming it is at it's worst. I have been hospitalized twice for my so called "symptoms". This is taking over my life.
A little back story I just delivered a baby in May. I'm 19. I have Graves Disease and hyperthyroidism.
Well about a month or two after my daughter was born I started experiencing some finger stiffness in my left than it also moved to my right I started googling and thought it was MS. Than my husband joked about ALS and being me I automatically identified with it. After I saw that the twitches everywhere started and than the weakness everywhere started and the balance issues.i also have tingles in my fear and hands and limbs. Sometimes I have pain in my hands too. I also think I have over production of saliva. I have seen a neurologist and endocrinologist and they all seem to think these symptoms are a combination of anxiety and my Graves Disease and see no reason to believe it is ALS. But I just CANNOT shake this. My fear is extreme. I have frequent crying spells scared I won't be here for my daughter or husband. But my fear just keeps growing Ecspecially since I have the stiffness and weakness in my hands but nothing to where I can't lift things. I can still fully stretch my fingers and move them freely. I just don't understand. Why me? Sorry if this is everywhere so am I.
