So last weekend I was having some sudden and profound weakness in my left foot/leg and when I examined it, it was out of the blue looking atrophied severely. I went to the doctor who confirmed the atrophy and said I have clinical weakness and a foot drop which I didn't even realize. They immediately ruled out MS with spinal tap and MRI and I'm left waiting for a neurologist on Friday and they mentioned ALS. I am in full blown panic mode now and can't stop freaking out. I have two young kids and I'm scared. Any advice?
