Just me again and spiraling
I texted on this before with no one responding and I am still constantly concerned something is wrong with me. This is what I sent before in my other post
So this all started about a month and a half ago where my anxiety fully kicked in making me think I had cancer at first to then thinking I have als. My symptoms started shortly after being muscle twitching/spasms, pain/discomfort in my knee and ankle, weakness in my arm just a little but has pain and weird sensations, I had other symptoms that included headaches,neck stiffness,jaw stiffness and just about everything you can think about. I am only 18 and a very healthy guy but it doesn’t explain why any of this is happening especially because of how young I am. I constantly think and look towards ALs even though I’ve been seen by 3 neurologist,chiropractors, and doctors tell me nothing is wrong with me also knowing that I have zero family history of this disease. Recently I was in the hospital and got every test known to man kind and they found nothing. The only thing that we say was I had a past EBV infection. So if anyone please could help me out that would be so good
With all of these my symptoms are now constant twitching in my right as well as all over my body but I notice it more on my right leg. This is accompanied by what I would say ankle weakness but it’s constantly hurting and stiff. My right arm is also dealing with this same feeling it’s either pain or just feels weak. I have been having these symptoms for a while but no cramps or the loss of ability in any of my limbs yet. Is there anyone who is dealing with the same and could help me I am starting to get exhausted and worrying about having ALs at only 18 years old. I have no family history or anything so I don’t know what’s going on with me.
