i'll tell you my story and I will also scan copys of my doctors dictations and test results so that you all can see proof.
History of fasiculations (widespread) approx 6 months prior to first EMG which was normal. Neuro exam normal at that time. Only subjective loss of strength.
Now 12 months have passed since initial symptoms and my diagnosis has changed to probable/likely, pending next EMG(currently ininsured)
Now I feel like there is a lack of urge to diagnose this disease at an early stage due to no treatment options, but in my situation and lack of insurance an early diagnosis would have been crucial.
12 months following widespread fasics and i now have virtually no use of the pinky on my right hand, although muscle atrophy is widespread there is some remaining strength(i am able to climb a flight of stairs)
