Extreme Anxiety
Hi all, first off I want to say I really hope I don’t offend anyone who HAS ALS/ any severe illness. I (23F) have started experiencing a lot of anxiety around my health. A couple weeks ago, I had been cleaning, dusting, vacuuming a lot, and noticed over the weekend my hand would start to cramp and hurt/lose strength after just several minutes of cleaning. Now my left hand is starting to feel the same as I’ve tried using it and letting my right hand rest. I noticed prior to this that I almost never am able to type a full sentence without mistyping words. This worried me, because I’ve never had this issue and have always been an excellent typer. This week, I noticed some tingling in my feet/legs and that they will fall asleep when I get out of bed in the morning and after driving for a short time. Since then, I’ve obviously fell down a rabbit hole looking at ALS information and if I could possibly have that. It reminded me that my knees have been feeling weaker/ I’m hardly able to squat some days without having trouble getting up. Typing this all out makes me feel a little silly, but I genuinely cannot get the thought out of my head that something is wrong with me. Please let me know if any of you have experienced similar issues 😵💫😵💫
