Bit of a strange one this.
It feels like I’ve seen more and more ALS/MND cases in the news recently, in people of a range of ages including 30-ish
I’m currently 25 and not worried about currently having ALS, but I am freaking out about the possibility of developing it. I know it’s not a way to live your life worring about what might happen, but obviously not rational to the way you think sometimes with HA.
My HA convinced myself that I will develop a serious illness while young, and as I have a bad habit of chewing plastic (just about anything - pens, plastic spoon ends etc) I am convinced I’ve f*cked myself up with chemicals etc. Sounds so stupid but hard to get out of the mindset
My muscles feel weak at times (mostly left arm) and I do get body twitches, but trying to put my mind that it’s down to anxiety - always trying to keep in kind “it’s about failing not feeling”
Can anyone else relate?
