How confident should i be if my neurologist said i have nothing neurologically wrong with me but i still have weird symptoms? i have deep fear of als

Try to relax: Bodies can have all sorts of weird sensations. Your neurologist could definitely tell if you had ALS. Try to let go of that fear and be reassured by the neurologist's report.

Trust somebody: you are entitled for a second opinion all the time. see other neurologist for a second opinion. in the end you have to trust somebody. that why we see a specialist. and that why we get a second opinion.
