Hello i came here few months ago...Iam a female and i am 22.
After the first neuro diagnosed me with radiculopathies the second neuro doctor suspects that i might have ALS!
I have done a lot of testing plus an emg of rigth hand and leg where the first neurologist said i had radiculopathies...But the widespread fasciculations ,the atrophy and the fasciculations in the left hand made the other neurologist suspect of ALS. I hadnt told the other Neurologist about the fasciculations being widespread i didnt think i mattered nor had i showed him my left hand...
But still how can the place where there is atrophy to fasciculate without it been ALS?Also i have face fasciculations ..The doctor said she didnt notice any tongue fasciculation then but when i told her about the strange feeling in tongue she told me when i feel them i should grab a mirror and look at my tongue to notice any movement.....
She seemed very stressed and worried which made me worried too.She said we must do this as asap but after she is back from her trip...
Thank you for reading this
