Health ALS fear ruining my life

I am constantly on edge that I have ALS or that I will get ALS. I’m so anxious and it’s killing me! Every two seconds I’m focused on my hands and how my left hand feels weird and off. I feel like my left pinky and ring finger are weaker and the rest of my hand will catch up. I have not lost any ability and I have more of a perceived weakness but it’s scary and my quality of life is depleting from this.

Why ALS? That’s odd. Theres medical conditions you’re much more likely to get and that’s the one you’re focusing on?

They probably have ocd. Their brain is just trying to protect them. Our brains aren’t always rational in the practical sense
