View Full Version : 36 yo female chances? ALS thought today, first time.
What is the incidence of ALS in a 36 yo female with no family history?
Trying NOT to go there, but today I felt a twing in my hip and felt like my legs was gonna give out. Kinda like a week in the knees feeling. Then I tried to balance on my left foot compared to my right and was WAY more stable on my right. I've had hip and groin pain for a few months. Occurred to me today that maybe this is all ALS...

Just NO. Step away from the dragon, ma'am.
I know its a horrible thing only b/c I have seen it on this board any another board a million times. I do not want to go there, but finding myself thinking "what if" should I check my symptoms? Fighting this currenly. Will not google. Will not google.
But seriously, pleassssse help me out with the chances and if my symptoms even match? :blush:

So does that answer your question?
Sorta, not really. I guess I just causes me to look at more symptoms and wonder vs. knowing only MY own symptoms and why they dont fit. Not sure if that makes sense.
ALS is about failing, not feeling. You're talking about feelings and sensations. You said:
"...today I felt a twing in my hip and felt like my legs was gonna give out....a week in the knees feeling.... I've had hip and groin pain for a few months... "
That doesn't happen with ALS (Period). I urge you to step back from the edge with this one.

As someone that's had ALS up close, I really don't think you have anything to worry about! I know it can be hard to get our self's out of the anxiety loop!
