Seeking Anxiety Relief - Dreams & Amputations

Just when i thought i've sunken low enough by standing infront of the mirror and noticing some huge dents in my tongue when i stretch one side ( Like.. DUH?! ), i i start to have allot of dreams about my leg that has to be amputated or my tongue getting 100 times smaller. The anxiety really seems to affect my life.. and now even in my dreams. Any tips?
 
I am planning to go in two yoga and meditation courses. maybe this could also be something for you?By the way, do you also twitch just above the ellbow (every 2-3 seconds a bump)?
 
I remember when I first came down with this in 2004, stand in front of the mirror about to brush my teeth when i noticed dents all along the sides of my tongue. i totally freaked out and started crying like a woman ( Noooo .... Why me .... Noooooo!) no disrespect to women meant there.. So anyway.. I asked my wife to look and she said , thats strange ... she said " look at mine " ... She had them tooo... i thought... we've both Got ALS ... Noooooooooooo! ... So then after I brushed my teeth they were gone... so would deductive reasoning tell you that brushing your teeth will cure ALS? No... they were marks from my tongue ..Any way.. about your night terrors.... I went through that as well... I only had a few, but I figured out that if you are really focused on something, it will manifest in your dreams and your mind has selected to remember it vividly because the subject matter is so topical. I ended up making sure to watch a funny movie or put on a ceomedian CD or something to make me laugh, which is the best medicine for anything ... This thing can really get in your head and take over your life.. it ruined the best years of my life and if i can help one person here from suffering that I will gladly do so..
 
Look I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it a hundred times before I leave this board. Anxiety kills more people than MS and ALS combined. COMBINED. If you spend all day worrying that some day you "might" get ALS or MS, you're obsessing over the wrong stuff. That's like pouring hundreds of grams of cocaine into your system, and worrying that one day you might get in a plane crash.
