Hi Friends, I need your advice. A few weeks ago I started having some twitches in my body, Ive always had a few but this seemed different. I was ok until I read an article in the paper the next day about a man who was diagnosed with ALS. As soon as I read about twitching my body crumbled with fear. I started to research ALS online and I pretty much convinced myself I have ALS.
I went to the dr and he did a general neuro exam and said I appeaered fine and what I was experiencing was anxiety and stress. I was fine for a bit but every time I feel a twitch my mi d races and I swear Im dying. I havent hardly eaten or slept in a few weeks. Ive lost 12 lbs. I wake up feeling like I never slept sore legs etc. When Im at rest, I have twitches still. The last couple days Ive had almost like burning sensations behind my knees after doing physical activities. Am I going crazy, is rhis anxiety or should I really get to a Neuro ASAP. I know you arent doctors, but Im hoping someones been here. Thanks.
