I am a 37 y/o previously healthy male.
My problems started in July with fasciculations & cramping.
My initial Neuromuscular visit turned up abnormal "cramp potentials" on the NCS/EMG test.
From there I was told that I have some type of peripheral nerve hyper-excitability...maybe Isaac's Syndrome, maybe Cramp Fasciculation Syndrome.
For the last month, I have noticed small indentations forming in the thenar muscle in my hand. Started on the left, then the right, and the depressions are slowly growing. This is one of the areas where I get fasciculations.
I sent pics to my neuro and he indicated that it looks like atrophy and scheduled me for another NCS/EMG. He indicated that atrophy would not be explained by CFS or Isaac's.
What types of questions should I ask at this next visit? I'm not up on all the EMG lingo, but I would like to have some good questions for him.
Has anyone else been diagnosed with PNH, but then had atrophy occur afterwards?
Thank you.
