I have been drinking heavily for a few years due to enormous amount of stress and trauma over more than 15 years.
About 4 years ago I was missed diagnosed with ALS, and went to China were I was evaluated by 28 doctors - some of the doctors were among the best in Beijing.
After seemlingly countless tests my 4 neurologists, and numerous other specialists I was diagnosed with extreme anxiety, stress, and depression. Most of my 14 symptoms that mimiced ALS and MS went away after taking 30mg's of Serax.
When I was in Beijing, I posted the two messages below on this board, and recieve a lot of support.
Please see the details here:

After finally "believing" that I was did not have ALS or MS, I continued to see good pyschiatrists including internationally renowned Dr. Abram Hoffer and my symptoms when away. He and numurous other gave me this advise, " NO MORE TESTS"!
CAN TONGUE FASCICULATIONS AND TONGUE TREMOR BE A SIGN OF ALCOHOL WITHDRAWAL? I HAVE NO OTHER SYMPTOMS - EVERTHING ELSE IS NORMAL.

I had an alcoholic father who would go into convultions if he didn't have a drink. Maybe you could talk to one of your doctors, by the way what is ALS? Wishing you all the best.
