Question: Help! I’m freaking out. I’m afraid I have als. These pass couple of days I’m really clumsy. I’m a little shaky. I also have a great deal of anxiety. I was in the ER a couple of days ago. I passed out and banged my head. I had a cat scan which was ok. I also have had an mri a couple of months ago. That was ok. I’m under the care of a neurologist.
