So for the past month and eight days I've been struggling with anxiety(health). At the beginning May I noticed I was swaying to the left when I walked. I've had fear since I was child of developing a brain tumor so my mind automatically locked on to brain tumor when I noticed I was swaying to the left. So for the entire month of May I was constantly in and out of the ER. I have had four neurological exams, a ct scan, loads of blood work, and a MRI; everything was normal. After I had the MRI I stopped fearing that I had brain tumor. However for past month I also noticed my calve muscles were stiff and I was having arm cramps and muscle spasms. From May 28th to 30th I was fine back to my regular self. I wasn't bed ridden with anxiety and my appetite came back a little. I woke up the 31st and I noticed I had a weird tingling sensation at the bottom of my left foot. Of coarse I went straight to Google like an idiot. I looked up Multiple Sclerosis and ALS and ever since then I've been in pure panic. I'm terrified that I have ALS. My calve muscles are really stiff and I feel like I'm walking funny(like part of my left foot isn't touching the ground when I walk). I haven't been to see my psychiatrist in 7 months. I called earlier today and the earliest appointment they have is July 15th. I also scheduled an appointment with my doctor for 19th of this month. I just need reassurance that if I had ALS that one of the four doctors would of noticed an abnormality in one of my neurological exam.
