Fishmanpa, do you have anxiety issues?

Fishmanpa, do you have anxiety issues?

Nothing that any normal person would stress over but I have dealt with depression and "scanxiety" after my heart attacks and cancer. The depression I recognized and sought help. Had therapy and took Zoloft for 6 months. The "scanxiety" was more difficult to deal with as I had a 50/50 chance of the cancer coming back. I would have to get tests and scans every three months for the 1st two years and then every 6 months until 5 years out. The stress from the anticipation of that ramped me up. It manifested itself as extreme irritability and sleeplessness. Again, I sought therapy and had a chill pill I could take. But in the sense of the extreme and irrational anxiety I see here? No....

I came to this board when I followed several HAers over from the cancer forum I was on. I ended up staying to offer some reality to many of the fantastical fears. Also, my daughter suffers from anxiety and depression and I've learned a lot about her situation and it's helped me help her.

It definitely must not help but my legs have felt "off" for months but for the past 10 days the burning sore feeling has been worse.

i tested my strength yesterday.

I did tests like getting up from a chair on one leg, jumping up stairs with two legs at the same time, standing on one feet, walking on toes and heels... I passed them but my muscles got sore quick and twitched after...

mine get like this from staying in bed for long peroids of time it's due to loosing muscle mass, you need to strengthen your legs again.
Hey all my sister in law gets this have them check your ears there are little crystals in the ear that can get shifted and make you have dizziness ,that is what causes hers. https://www.webmd.com/brain/home-remedies-vertigo#1

I agree with PK

You need to strengthen your legs
YOGA
You will get sore legs from doing it but that's good because you will know it come from doing yoga

I truly hope you will be a good dad to your new baby, Seymour but you'll have to get up off the sofa and carry on with your life even if you still think you have ALS. What do you think people actually diagnosed with ALS do? Do they give up and take to their beds? You have had many assessments and tests which don't convince you. You can choose to opt out of all your responsibilities and chase your chosen diagnosis or you can decide to get up and get on with your life despite your anxiety.

Start looking around at what you have,and thank the good olé lord that you have not got the hideous disease ALS.
