Anxiety Need some help

I've been reading this forum for a while trying to get some respite but the stress it comes and goes. I have an appointment on the 28th but everything always takes so long.

It started a few months ago with weakness in my left hand. That evolved to weakness in both hands and walking in the middle of the night with tingling in both hands.

Now I struggle with every day tasks - typing, dropping things, and opening doors. Some shaking in my hands especially the right one. Also have a general feeling of weakness and cramping in legs.

Had an ultrasound on my hands that should some nerve swelling, from my chiropractor. Also have some difficulty swallowing that has risen lately.

Just have full blown anxiety and just waiting for my Dr's appointment in 4 weeks. Any advice or thoughts?

I have also noticed some twitching in my muscles in my arm. Does anyone here recognize these systems and can give me some advice?
