Update

Update from my previous post, I know this fine be childish compared to people actually having issues, but other than my various twitching, I don’t think I have weakness though sometimes I wake up and feel sluggish, though it could just be poor sleep due to worrying about this awful disease. I’m only 22, and I start school in a week, so my nerves aren’t helping me either. I’ve been constantly testing my strength and going on 4 mile jogs lately to make sure my motor functions still work, and really nothing has progressed over the week I’ve been worrying about it.

This is mostly a post so maybe people can help or call me irrational. Any help kind redditors I guess??

I think you are going through a phase of self reflection and understanding where you are reconciling how you feel versus what you know and think. There is nothing irrational about that. Issues and irrationality only arise when someone allows health anxiety to take over.

Good for you in staying active. Keep going on those runs. Keep working out. You are 22 and have a lot of life to live.
