Hey all!
Love the fact that a forum like this exists to ask questions of people with real life ALS experience! It so helps when some of us out here are scratching our heads wondering what's really going on. On the flip side...I hate that ALS exists!!!
To be brief. 49 year old male with over one year under my belt of really hard whole body 24/7 twitching. Primary sent me to Neuro who did an initial work up and ordered EMG/NCS. Clinical evaluation indicated zero weakness or atrophy. Neuro said not ALS or at least very unlikely. EMG results changed Neuro tune as they came back abnormal. Lots of 1+'s and reduced recruitment in most muscles tested. Sent on to subspecialist. NCS showed mild to moderate neuropathy. Oh...also have cervical spInal stenosis and slipping disk in lower back...
Any feedback would be appreciated...thank you!
