Hi everyone,
I feel like being couped up at home has gotten me thinking about terrible things. I was able to get an EMG and nerve conduction study in December which all came back normal. Then I was fine. Now I am worried about getting some terrible disease in the future. I am big on statistics and numbers. I have been reading a lot of different things that show the chances of getting ALS and MS and all these things. For some reason I am stuck on ALS and trying not to go down the rabbit hole. Does anyone know or a website or have knowledge of the chances of getting ALS vs something common like Cancer or heart disease? I know its a rare disease and I am only 30 but for some reason I have been worried about the future and what the chances are of getting it later on in life.
I have read that getting cancer in your lifetime is like 1 in 4, and ALS is like 1 in 50, 000. Is that correct?? But for some reason I am focusing so strongly on it :( I just need some help and words of encouragement.
thanks everyone and i hope you stay safe
