ALS scare

Hi all,

I have sorta a history of hyppochondria over diseases: I already lived through lung cancer, brain tumor, HIV. My "brain tumor" incident which happened about 5-6 years ago felt like my leg and arm (on one side) were hurting.

This is really weird, but I happened to be depressed coz of some personal issues and I happened to come across ALS article. About 2-3 days later I developed weird light cramping sensation in my chin which comes and goes like 5 times a day or so. Happened for last 5 days. Now my left leg and arm are sorta 'painful'... I feel depressed, fuzzy...

Also about 3 days ago my left arm's tricep twitched on and off like 30-50 times during the day. Then it did it like once next day and no twitching now.

What really bothers me is that cramping sensation in my chin and pain in the left arm and leg. I am 27 years old. Any of these symptoms are common to ALS?

Cramping sensation in the chin? it happens on and off like 20 times a day i'd say and i feel like it does happen less when i play online games or distracted, so i wonder whether it is my mind doing it, but same spot like that? It is disturbing
