Clinical exam and blood work

[Poopsi]

Im struggling with thinking I have MS, in my bloodwork they tested me for autoimmune disorders and it came back negative, and my clinical exam for weakness, balance, and the tweezer test all came back normal! I'm having am EMG on Wednesday, just to calm my nerves the dr said. I'm still worried I have MS and its just not showing up bc it's too early! Am I freaking out for nothing? Should I trust my dr and results or go with my gut?

I think you should trust your doctor and take reassurance from the test results.

Is that health anxiety? U get good results but still don't believe them?

Yes a classic sign of health anxiety is not believing the results. We put a lot of weight on the symptoms, and do not put any weight on the test results. We overestimate the bad, and underestimate the good. As a result we are running in circles, which feeds the anxiety.
