Thanks for the info guys. Just an update on me. I went to my GP again on Monday. He tested my reflexes and stated that they were a 2 (which is normal), tested my arm strength and could not detect any weakness. I am starting anti-anxiety medication (Lexapro), but he did say for me to keep my neuron appointment, just for added piece of mind.
My complaint to him was that I am having perceived weakness in my right arm and it feels different when I walk (sorta weird).
Don’t you think a GP would be able to pick up on some sort of weakness/reflex change, that would lead him to demand that you go to a neuron? Also, when I left the office, I flat out asked him if I had ALS. He said no.
Can I trust my GP, that the cause of my perceived arm weakness is anxiety/somatic?
