Default Really really scared

I am a 33 female. Mother of 3.

I started with headaches. Got muscle relaxers and naproxen for the headache. I got a stomach virus and ended up in ER bc they thought maybe meningitis with headache and other symptoms they did a spinal tap and all was okay. I was having weakness in both of my legs so my doctor referred me to a neurologist. I thought the weakness might be the muscle relaxer so I stopped taking it. It started to subside but I was having aching in both calves. I saw the neurologist who did an office exam and suggested vitamins. I started getting weird surges in my arms and legs that made me feel a little bit week for a couple seconds at a time when it would happen. I went back to the neurologist who ordered a brain MRI bloodwork and an EMG. I have not had the EM Gee yet it is next Thursday all other test are done but Dr is making me wait for all the results at one time when finished. My symptoms have mostly subsided but my left leg feels weak when I walk and my left calf feels achy and keeps twitching. I am so scared of what could be going on and my symptoms on the Internet keep pushing me to MS and ALS. I am scared of both but terrified of ALS obviously. The twitching in my muscle has me so worried because it's only in my calf and nowhere else. I feel helpless waiting on all the test and for the doctor to give me any kind of information I have been crying and not eating and not sleeping for days and days and I don't know what to do
