polyphasic mups and als

polyphasic mups and als

hi i am a 21 year old girl and last year after taking levaquin and steroids i began to have trembling and twitching. i had an mri of brain and spine and EMG - all came normal ( after 6 months of twitching). last month my toe- the one next to my big toe - in my right leg began to feel tingling and numbness, and after 2 weeks my right leg started to feel achy when i walk. twitches continue. i had a secong emg - of legs only and the doc said ' some neurogenic changes in muscle - nvc nirmal emg showed polyphasic mups with increased amplitude and duration"/ i showed the emg to 3 neuros and all said it doesnt indicate als because the amplitude is not big enough. i am v v v scared about als and i know that if i have it i wont be able to survive the diagnosis. i would appreciate some help. thanks.
