The worst case that I've heard is a hypochondriac that has kept up his worry about ALS for TWENTY-FIVE years. He has posted on these boards. He seems like an intelligent guy from his posts about ALS research and politics. But what a waste of ones mind.

Arrigoar. Your fate is in your hands only. You have as much chance of having ALS someday as anyone in the world. You will get something fatal someday. Something. Hopefully in your last minutes you won't feel the huge regret of wasting so much time on fantasies.
