ALS Fear

[4bready]

Hi guys
Been a while. I have had this fear in past, but I am 46 and about a week ago my left hand felt different, like not as flexible as my right hand (right hand dominant). My left hand feels not as flexible as right hand. I tried flipping a coin in my fingers in left hand and it felt much more awkward than right hand. My left hand feel much more tighter than right hand and fingers in left and seem sore compared to right hand. I tend things like making sign with my left hand and it is harder to hold than right hand. My left hand just feels odd compared to right hand, especially pinky and ring finger on left hand. It almost feels like my left hand is slightly swollen when I wake up. My left hand almost feels slightly weaker than right hand. Just slightly. I have been wiggling fingers, testing my hand for a few days now. I am freaking out that this is start of ALS. Anyone experience similar fears? sorry.

I compete in strength sports and i know not only from experience and reading that anxiety causes many different weaknesses and odd feelings, shakes. Etc Read about my experiences just the other day with my legs that have happened for years.

Gotcha. I really don't have neck issues. I do CrossFit "light". I kind of tried to articulate this a bit better: My hand feels odd (maybe weak) and tight. my wrist' hand, forearm feels tight and odd like I lost dexterity. I feel like my flexibility is off with left hand, feels weird typing like I am thinking about those fingers. My left hand feels light and weak. Lately I have woken up and left hand feels swollen and fingers achy. My joints almost feel tighter in left hand
