No, it unequivocally CANNOT be. ALS does not have sensory symptoms like that. Move on.

No. If you had ALS you would be too busy dying of ALS to write this post.

Wow bertybotts... No need to take that attitude.

Amber1977 you are probably fine :) tingling and muscle twitches are very common symptoms of anxiety

I've had numbness and tingling on and off... Very common with anxiety :) amongst many other symptoms!

You aren't describing early onset ALS at all. ALS is extremely rare. Anxiety causes tingling because of hyperventilation and increased adrenaline. Chill, breathe, you're fine, do something relaxing and put it out of your head :)
