I am very scared and very depressed. I have no idea what to do...this is destroying me before the disease will.

Hi! I've read your story and noticed we have some similar symptoms. I too had an abnormal EMG that showed compressed nerve but the L spine MRI came back clean. Did you even find out what is causing your symptoms?

I do feel spastisity though....my calf muscle is very tight. Yes, I have Skype and would love to talk to you, though I feel pretty hopeless at this point so I'm not sure how reassuring it would be...My skype is megi-921. it's 4 am here but of course, I can't sleep since all of this has been...

Yes, this is what the EMG shows (I'm translating from Bulgarian, so I'm not sure if everything will be accurate, hope it is) - No data for prefrontal damage in the arms and legs. This is the Bulgarian term at least, for the changes found in ALS. No denervation found in muscles (she tested both...

Hi! Thank you for your explanations but I did do an MRI of the lumbar area of the spine and it was clean and that is why I am freaking out - this means that there is no cause for the problems in my calf....that's why I'm freaking out. Also, my reflexes show there is a problem with that leg...

I'm back from the neuro who said that she doesn't think it's ALS but there is some peripheral damage noted from the EMG. She sent me to MRI to see if there is something in my spine, but the MRI came back clear and now I'm having a panic attack that this is the disease in its very early stages...

Thank you for your reply, Nikki. I'll be going to the neuro tomorrow and will shower her with questions for sure. I hope this turns out to be something else because I'm seriously losing it.... P.S. My English might be more of a curse than a blessing sometimes. There isn't nearly as much...

Sorry to be posting again but I've been reading up and I'm scared again. I read that if the disease starts in upper motor, the EMG might not show anything. Well, mine did show spontaneous activity that the EMG technician said indicated spinal issue, but wasn't indicative of ALS. It worries...

Thank you for the compliments about my English, guys. :) I'll be catching up on sleep tonight for sure. Take care and I appreciate very much everyone's kind reassurances during this stressful time in my life. Best, Meggie

Hi everyone, I got my EMG results today - the doctor performing it said she sees nothing that she would consider pointing to ALS (no twitches, no denervation or fibrillations) and she tested both my legs and one arm. She did say the EMG shows I have a spinal issue, which is probably causing me...
