This site has a wealth of information about EMG's and interpreting the findings. A must read if you think you might have ALS or BFS.

Thanks Al - just what I needed. Had results off the Doctors today. Struggling to understand them to be honest.
Thanks Al for posting this. Maybe this will ease the mind of the members who think they have als, but have had normal EMG's.
scared of als

Al what a good site...esp for those that already have dx of something but keep focusing in als....you have made other people feel better...thanks jenny
Cindy....I tried to PM you....
PS I used the wrong screen name for you. Tried to delete this post, but couldn't!
No....once you've been diagnosed with a neuromuscular disease that mimics als and have had a positive emg with characteristics that are included in an emg with als, then the worry never goes away, though I count my blessings everyday that I do not have als and myopathy instead. My neuromuscular disease, which has many of the same symptoms as als, showed continuous polys on the emg, which are mentioned in this article. But, if you have a diagnosis of something that isn't even neuromuscular, than you probably wouldn't be here at all! I think others on here who have neuromuscular diseases, but have not been told it is als can agree. But, for those who have had normal emg and only twitch, this could really clear their minds! So thanks again for the info Al.
