I'd like to address your question about Valium.
I take 5mg of Valium at bedtime for cramps. It does nothing for my twitches. It does help me relax but that's about it.
My twitches started locally as did my weakness. Left foot. Then left leg. It took over two years until they were widespread.
If your reflexes were brisk everywhere, that's a good sign and found in normal population.
Sorry you have to wait that long for an EMG but everything you posted, including the doctor's visit, points away from ALS.
I know it's hard but I think if you stay off this forum until after your EMG it will help you mentally. Focus on your beautiful family.
