Convinced i have als

Hello all,
Im am 24 years old and totaly convinced i have als, all my symptoms have started about a month ago and ive been obsessed with als. My first symptoms started with constantly fatigued left arm even at rest, feeling as if i couldnt use like it was weak, although i could. Some weird feeling were associated with the left arm fatigue hard to discribe also some minor pain that came and went. Shortly after my left arm started my left calf started, it is constently tight feeling and i have a feeling of worms or something crawling in the muscle, i shake when i go down steps and i also have a strange pain in the sole of my foot almost like a cramp starting but it never developes.i also feel like my gate is screwed up but no one has noticed but me.I have had twitching all over my body but the finger twitching in left hand and the worm feeling in my left calf are driving me up a wall. I have seen a nurologist a little over week and half ago , he preformed  all the test a nurologist would perform and he said in his mind this is not als. But i still cant hang my hat on those words just yet. I really want him to re issue a a new emg test ( i had a clean one a year ago) idk if im truely out of my mind in feeling like i have als or mnd , but its consuming me , im constently looking up symptoms on als forums and reading account of peoples intial symptoms. Im truely consumend by this. Anybody have any thoughts on this matter?!
Thanks,
Matt
