You could have excess gas which causes stools to float. Happens to me from time to time. I have gone through the whole bowel fears myself! If you're interested, a bunch of us old school AC people are in on a group chat on FB messenger. Shoot me a message and I can add you if you want!

Hey Jonathan! A bunch of the originals are all together in a Facebook Messenger group chat! Shoot me a message on Facebook and I will add you! I hope all is well my friend!

It did! I am glad you're getting the help! Virtual therapy is just as good! A bunch of original Anxiety Central members and I are on a Facebook Messenger chat. If you'd like to join us, feel free! Just message me on Facebook and I will add you! https://www.facebook.com/michael.larosa.7509 Im Mike by the way!

Hey Diane! How are you? Do you remember me? 🙂

You make a good point and I am glad you realize that we should live in the moment. While it is not always easy, it's what we should do! How are you other than this? I am always down to chat!

This is something I am VERY familiar with! I was diagnosed with a fatty liver and trust me when I tell you, if there was something on that scan, best believe your Doctor would have let you know. This lab report looks great! My best advice to you is to maintain a healthy diet and exercise! I am glad you are ok!

I am so so so glad you had a mammogram! I bet you feel relieved! 🙂

Medications impact people differently. What might make you gassy might not for me and vice versa. I would try different things to see what works and what doesn't. I am sure you will find something that works for you. Have you heard of IBGard?

You probably have some wax build up which happens to everyone at some point. Can you go to your local pharmacy and buy some Debrow?

Marc just gave you some valuable reassurance! 🙂

ALS while well known is still pretty rare. I know it isn't easy, but try and retrain how you think. You could Google the rarest of rare diseases and you will come up with horror stories. I am all but 100% certain you do not have ALS! 🙂

Hello, I am by no means trying to dismiss your concern, but anxiety can cause an array of symptoms including a "lump in the throat" feeling. Perhaps it is this! Is everything else ok? Have you tried meditation?

I say this with the highest respect and no offense... You should not be getting these tests unless a doctor says you need it. My Doctor told me that Doctors should not be recommending tests unless they are medically necessary and should not be recommending tests because a patient demands it. There should always be a reason!

I am so sorry that you're going through all of this! Anxiety can make our bodies do all types of things. By chance, are you in therapy? It's something I need to get back into! I am always here if you need to talk!

Hello again 🙂 Trusting doctors can be tough, especially when we feel physical symptoms. Based on what you're stating and the fact that you've been to the Doctor, it's highly unlikely that you have ALS. I too struggle with health anxiety. I am always here if you want to talk! A bunch of people from here are on a Facebook Messenger chat. If you want, send me a message and I will add you to it!
