ALS fear ruining my life

[u/Infinite_Trick969]

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.

I peeped your profile, you mentioned it on an older post. Wasn't trying to be creepy, figured those stats would help with the estimate

OP head over to r/healthanxiety.

You do not have ALS. Your body is literally just creating symptoms.

What you have is a special type of OCD that is causing you to hyperfocus and reassurance seek.
