Sorry I have to post another question.
I'm still very concerened of the possibility of ALS after seeying atrophy in my first dorsal webspace (right dominant hand)
I'm twitching widespread for almost 2 years now and went to two neurologists
The first one is specialist in MND. His assistent did an EMG at that time - I was only twitching 2.5 weeks then (Feb '08) DX bfs because only fascics were seen.
The other is also a specialist in mnd in a large hospital, he didn't do an EMG, but also saud it was BFS after clincial exam (I've been to him in November 09)
After the last visit I was confident I didn't have ALS until a couple of weeks ago why holding a glass I noticed a big dent between my thumb and index finger (space). This in my dominant hand (and real visible difference with my left)
Do you think this specialist could have made a mistake? It's been 2 years, I see atrophy in the right hand but don't notice real weakness (can open jars, turn keys)
I guess if this is really atrophy it must be ALS, right? I also twitch tremendously.
Also the twitches started in my eyes, followed by 24/7 legs and week later overall. Is is than normal that the hand goes first? Can it take this long?
