Had one good day, now it's started again

[aunjypoo]

I am 100% convinced its als. I don't see what else it could be and I am a mess.

My feet and ankles when laying in bed feel like they don't want to move or if they do its sudden and jerky. My feet and ankles start shaking if I flex/extend/rotate. My big toe on left foot won't go down as far as on right foot. If I keep my feet still for a minute or two and then try to move them it feels really hard like they don't want to do it.

I am still able to balance on one leg, walk on heels, walk on tiptoes, "prance", skip, go up stairs, hop on one leg, and hop up stairs, but I feel somewhat wobbly when I walk.

I'm driving myself insane and don't know what it could be or what to think. It's been going on for probably 2-3 weeks now. If I move my feet and ankles around a lot they seem ok but then if I stop and try again in a few minutes is when they feel weird. Then all the flexing I do makes my whole legs hurt.

What more can we say?  You are making yourself sick with all the balancing and hopping and bending and monitoring every movement of your toes feet and ankles.  The odds that you have ALS are infinitely small and if I recall people already told you it wouldn't present as you describe anyhow.  You have a thought disorder.  There is much that can be done to treat your thought disorder but you don't seem open to it.  So again, what are you looking for?

I shall give you a giant PFFT


you know, you KNOW that one day doesn't mean you are cured or even anywhere near on your healing path.  I mean during that one good day you had, what did you do that would have fixed your thought disorder?  AS you know, or should know, that you didn't get yourself in this thinking disorder pickle in one day, so what makes you think one good day means a hill of beans?

In order to get better you have to COMMIT yourself to proactive steps.  I listed some of my suggestions on a previous thread.  gcalex has offered some suggestions and others as well.  YOU WILL NOT GET BETTER WITHOUT TAKING THE RESPONSIBLITY IN DOING SO.   

I just loooooooooooooove when peeps say they are 100% convinced they have X disease.  You know all that means is you've listened to the rubbish you've been telling yourself.  You've filtered all your 'symptoms' and 'evidence' through your HIGHLY unreliable thinking and  lied to yourself to the point of being 'convinced'.  do you know the definition of convinced?  the synonym for convinced is talked into.  now usually that means based on credible arguments a person has come to a conclusion.  Your 'arguments' again are filtered through your faulty thinking.  so how does that mean 100%?  all you are 100% convinced of is that you are afraid of ALS.  That is ALL.  AND even your fear is coming from a questionable source.
EVEN if you had a doctor think you had ALS, he/she would NOT say he was 100% convinced. 

When are you going to step back and take a more logical look at what is going on?  That is going to mean that you are going to have to accept that you, YOU, are going to have to invest yourself into getting better.  You cannot spend your time reacting to your bodily symptoms.  they are only occuring because of your amped up nervous system.
