Hi,
I read a thread over here where some people were arguing about clean emg at first and later developed in bad emg resulting in ALS diagnose.
I'm very confused about this because some members say this is not possible and others say they read stories on here about it. Because of that I went reading post after post and I found some people with an initial clean EMG and even people who had twitches for years before developing weakness. I'm very confused about this because I'm not medical trained but I will mention the posts I read about.
1. Lori (was diagnosed with benigne fasciculations and pn) Clean 1st EMG: https://www.alsforums.com/forum/general-discussion-about-als-mnd/5040-my-journey.html
2. SpringOwl had clean emg:https://www.alsforums.com/forum/gen...kness-yes-balance-problems-no.html#post119594
3. Manwithaplan had 1st clean emg and localized twitching: https://www.alsforums.com/forum/do-...tive-babinksi-sign-foot-drop-same-side-3.html
4. Artisto had twitches and 1st clean emg : https://www.alsforums.com/forum/do-...amyotrophic-lateral-sclerosis.html#post135669
5. ConnieS: https://www.alsforums.com/forum/do-i-have-als-als/9099-diagnosis-more-questions.html
6.Comfortable with ALS:https://www.alsforums.com/forum/do-...tive-babinksi-sign-foot-drop-same-side-3.html
These are just a few that I remembered but I read more. Why do some say this is not possible if you can easily find this stories? I hope someone can explain this because I don't understand this anymore.
