Hi
I posted earlier regarding my Als fear . I was having symptoms of pain cramping soreness tingling buzzing in my jaw face tongue arms hands and legs feet ankles . I was also getting twitching throughout my body pretty much everywhere . Voice has been raspy since my cold 10 days ago. So I saw the neurologist for the third time on April 13 he has done two emgs legs and arm. He did them March 2016 and Feb 2017. I told him about my oral symptoms jaw tongue pain with occasional twitches . I asked him to do another emg n tongue he declined he said when he saw my tongue visually there was no atrophy or fibrillations , and he tested my strength and reflexes and he said I am fine. I told him.about my voice and he told me I don't sound hoarse and voice is normal.He said there is no need to see him anymore because I don't have a disease he said it's anxiety. I feel so hopeless and frustrated I wanted to test the tongue for reassurance . He said he will refer me to a psychiatrist . My symptoms just don't go away how can anxiety mess with my nerves so much leading to these physical symptoms . Will a psychiatrist really help me get rid of these symptoms with CBT . Neuro said I am hyper aware of everything in my body and the symptoms are feeding off my anxiety in some sort of vicious cycle . Does this make sense i have seen him three times and it don't think the neuro will see me again I asked for a follow up and he said no .
Help me please
