Had a "scare" about MS about 2 months ago. Left arm felt weak, less dexterity etc. Googled, found MS, starting panicking - you guys know how it goes from there. Anyway, I went to Dr who said I had anxiety (despite having no clinical history) and it didn't sound like MS.
Since then I've tried to put it out of my mind, but I still don't feel I'm right. I'm still conscious of my arm and analysing every little thing. Now today I have stiff shoulders (both sides, but left worse) and sore forearm. Also tenderness between thumb and forefinger. I started learning the guitar a few months back and went to play today and forearm/hand fatigued very quickly (<5 mins). I'm not convinced I have ALS :weep:
I think because my Dr didn't send me to a neuro, I still doubt his diagnosis, and can't believe that anxiety could cause this (I'm only anxious ABOUT the symptoms, the rest of my life is pretty good).
Needed to write that down.
