I was going great for 2 weeks, exercising twice a day every day then all of a sudden I got the tingles, that then threw me out of control. My legs tingle, my back tingles and it's driving me mad, I can't help of thinking of all the bad things it can be and that my death will leave my daughter without a father, that thought alone is very distressing.
So today I've been mostly googling my symptoms, looking at ALS in detail but not looking at the symptoms. I've googled my neurologist to check her qualifications and tried looking for a email address for her or the department to see if a cancellation had been made so I could get in there earlier.
Yesterday I phoned my doctor and made an emergency appointment which I got but when I saw him he told me there was nothing he could do until I've seen the neurologist which put me down a bit.
My symptoms are weird but move around quite a bit, I get tingling and fasciculations (Muscle Spasms) which is why I've been worried about ALS, however I do know that ALS is extremely rare and doesn't present itself like this but it doesn't stop me from worrying, why do i do this to myself
Drugs:
I read today others who have had the same neurological symptoms but it turned out to be anxiety, it's so hard to imagine these symptoms are coming from my head, they are real symptoms by releasing chemicals from my anxious behavior in my brain but I need to stop these ASAP and am thinking of taking my amitriptyline again or another anti depressant. Funny thing though is I don't feel depressed, I feel fine apart from these symptoms but I cant turn my crazy brain off.
