Help, is this ALS...

I started complaining about leg fatigue in August 2015. After being referred to a vein doctor, who cauterized several veins, the fatigue, or weakness as I call it today, returned within a few short weeks. By February, 2016, I went back to my primary care doctor who said that we might be looking at ALS, which of course freaked me out. As such, I started researching different websites, including the ALS Foundation, which led me to the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, AZ. In April, 2016, the doctors performed a series of tests, which included an EMG.
