If you have gone to a neurologist and been given the OK,it is likely that you are ok.However,if you do not feel confident in the answer you have recieved,you should go to another neurologist for a second opinion.
Also,if this occurs more when you are thinking about it,it is unlikely that it is a serious disease.Your fixation on it,in essence,makes it happen more or appears to happen more.
As for your fingers becoming stiff when writing,this sounds like carpal tunnel syndrome.It is caused by repetitive motions such as typing,writing,or using a video game controller.The blood vessels in the wrist become constricted,leading to tingling,numbness,or stiffness.I would suggest going to the doctor for this as well.It is not life threatening,but if left untreated could lead to surgery.
Be safe,don't worry yourself to death.You will be fine.
