As far as my weakness symptom goes, it feels like my right arm is weaker than my left. I lift a book with my right arm and it feels heavier. I can still lift heavy objects. I can go to the gym and curl weights, run on the treadmill, etc.

Isn't profound weakness usually the first sign?

I am going to my GP today to follow up and I have a neurologist appointment next friday.

My GP doesn't see the need to go, but offered for piece of mind. I am a hypochondriac, and he thinks these symptoms are somatic.

Do you think I am okay???
