Default Worrying Again

Hey All,

I am sorry to post again, but I am looking for some reassurance. I appreciate any help you can provide!

My symptoms have been going on for over 3 months now. I had a clean neuro exam and EMG that was performed November 9th. My neuro and GP say anxiety is playing a role in my muscle twitching and perceived weakness. My neuro dx'd me with Benign Fasiculations on Nov. 9th.

My worries are still about ALS. Should I be worrying, or can I trust the results of my EMG. With a clean needle exam, my neuro said to work on my anxiety (I am taking Lexapro now) and to forget about ALS. I had my legs, arms, back, stomach, chest and tongue tested during the exam.

All nerve roots showed no problems. Since my symptoms were present on November 9th, wouldn't the EMG have showed signs of ALS...if my symptoms were related.

Thanks,

Tony
