Default Possible ALs. New Member Becky

I am also new, I am young 28 year old female. I have absolutely no symptoms. None. I am perfectly healthy, however, I went in to discuss a recent MRI I had gotten for some Migraines I have been experiencing. He did a thorough exam and said I was perfectly normal. However, on MRI I had findings consistent with those of ALS, not MS, not stroke, not tumor, nothing. THe only thing he could think it to be was ALS, but after examining me, he said that I have absolutely no neurologic signs.

My question is, what the heck does that mean? Am I going to get it? Do I have it and the signs havent showed up yet? Is it something else? I am so upset adn confused right now. He wants to "observe" this. But in the meantime I am thinking of how to plan for my two little babies for the day I will be gone, or think about my husband having to care for me. I mean, I know Im freaking out, but how do you handle news that it may or may not be somethign like this?

Any words of advice, comfort, experience in this would greatly calm my senses.
