Hi guys,
I am a 23 year old female university student who has suffered from anxiety for my entire life.
I am deeply afraid of developing ALS, understandably, it is the scariest disease ever.
Since about August I have had aching in my fingers and hands along with stiffness, I also have this in my jaw but my doctor said this is TMJ. These symptoms all began when I was going through a stressful period since I was fearing colon cancer (turned out I had colitis- yay)
About two months ago, I developed twitching EVERYWHERE - since then my symptoms have gotten worse, I have aching in arms, wrists, hands, fingers on and off. I have also begun to experience aching and stiffness in my legs and arms.
Does anyone else have this? Can anyone relate?
I will be getting an EMG and seeing a neurologist in a month but I am very nervous.
Any insights will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
xx
Lilly
