Help me out of my health anxiety

Hi, currently freaking out I have motor neurone disease. I've had twitching of the eye lid for 4 months and now how twitching in my thigh and a weird pulling sensation in my calves and ankles. Been to the doctors who did full bloods (all came back fine) and has now referred me to a neurologist. This is a 70 week wait 😳😥 so I've had to go private but that's still a 3 week wait. Doctor has prescribed me with propranolol for anxiety but it's not taking the edge off. I can't think of anything else but motor neurone disease. Struggling to get proper sleep and have totally lost my appetite.

Hi, didn't want to read and run, I can imagine how you feel as I have really bad anxiety particularly around health. I'm going through something similar with things I'm needing checked out and I am fearing the worst. I keep thinking the worst and it's not easy to try and not think about it. I'm glad you've managed to go private and hopefully the wait isn't too bad for you and all goes ok. Remember google is bad, I do it every day too but there could be so many things that causes your symptoms. Neurology is a wide spectrum and it could be nerve related as oppose to anything serious. Let me know how you get on.

Hey @Iknewthisallalong I know this is an older post but I’m going through something similar and just wondering how you got on? I have also been referred to a neurologist but it’s a huge wait and private is still months
