You know, I can reassure you of two things:1. With your EMGs, time frame, and the neuro telling you are okay, you are definitely okay. BFS waxes and wanes for most people. I have improvement and then I'll have bad flare ups.2. Your feeling of high anxiety after a year, with the appearance of new symptoms, is also normal. I am the exact same way and so are so many people on this forum. And, it absolutely stinks that we are this way. New symptoms, or worsening symptoms after a period of calmness, still scares me, even after 20 months of this. And, logically, I know what I'm telling you in Point #1 applies to myself as well! So, you're not alone in this psychological struggle that we have.Mitra
This completely sounds like BFS in every way..and with every symptom you listed....U have way too much sensory symptoms going on for you to even be considering ALS as something you should worry about...ALS is a Motor Neuron Disease..Which means its attack is on the motor nerves..those are the nerves that allow or cause your moments..Your tingling, buzzing, and burning are all sensory symptoms from your sensory nerves...ALS does not kill the sensory nerves...only the motor nerves..this is why it is called a Motor Neuron Disease..So take some deep breaths and be sure you are also getting enough sleep because not sleeping well and anxiety are a nasty combo and will make your sensory symptoms much worse..trust me on this one...I had a ton of sensory issues...not a good time.Take careML

)Unless you have developed als between now and your last examination, that's not what it is. You should try to focus on the root cause and the un-palletable thing is that this is most likely anxiety. It's hard to accept. But get used to it. I hope your symptoms improve but recommend you don't worry about irrelevant diseases, it's like having a sore foot and thinking you have bone cancer. I totally emphasise with the terror of it all but you have to look at the facts and revisit what your neurologist said. Take care. Rob.
