Instead of pondering what has occurred, suggest you become proactive, make an appointment with an experienced psychiatrist and further evaluate the anxiety and your other symptoms. You can turn this around and get back on track. You do NOT have ALS!

On the 13th I was waiting for my brain MRI, I thought I had brain cancer. I cried all night, on the 15th I developed muscle twitching, muscle soreness. MRI ruled out any mass. Now I'm worried about ALS. Could symptoms be delayed symptoms of anxiety?
