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?

Yes, you can trust your GP ...everything was normal...perceived weakness is not a sign of ALS..'profound " weakness may be or may be something else....you had no clinical signs of the disease ..Lisa

"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?"

Sure. Unless there wasn't a real one, it just felt like there was.

So in other words. I can trust my GP...and will get some reassurance from my neuro that I don't have ***. Correct?

Correct!!!

My symptoms have been going on for about almost 2 months now. My main complaint is perceived weakness in my right arm, although I can still do everything, this just feel heavier.

If I had ALS, wouldn't I have seen some more progression?
