Wright, I hope you're right.
When it comes to EMGs, you can count on wright being correct. Considering the fact that he teaches doctors in training at a US medical school how to perform EMGs and how to interpret the results, it's safe to say that he's forgotten more about EMGs than you or any of the rest of us will ever know.
Nobody's ever had symptoms, clean EMG, followed by worsening symptoms and a not so clean EMG? I thought I read 2 or 3 examples of that on this very forum, and I haven't been here long.
You've read stories where people have made those kind of claims. Most probably, you've read claims by other people in this part of the forum that there were other people that claimed that they had multiple clean EMGs followed by a troublesome one.
I'll make the same challenge to you that I do every time someone makes that claim: what are the names of these people? We've debunked the others -- I feel confident we can explain yours too.
P.S. This is a forum where people go to share their symptoms and fears of MND. Not sure how you're going to police it to try and prevent fear LOL. Sort of goes with the territory, doesn't it?
We don't try to police the fear. We'll attempt to reason with someone who shows up here for a time, until they prove themselves to be completely irrational. Then, they might just be ignored or ridiculed, perhaps even banned.
Ultimately, the only one that can police the fear in your head is you, because you are the one who put it there. That's right -- you and only you are responsible for any fear that you have about ALS/MND, unless a real doctor has told you that it is possible that you have MND (which happens extremely rarely in this part of the board).
Usually here, it's the other way around -- twitching person finds ALS on Internet, mentions it to doctor, then doctor does tests that check for ALS. When tests are clean, patient is too emotionally invested in Internet research to believe doctor, so patient does more Internet research, looking for "atypical" presentations of ALS.
That's when the patient ends up here, because the archives of this part of the board are chock-full of people who came here and made silly or outrageous claims that never turned out to be ALS.
Your Internet research has brought you across some of the ALS/MND misinformation out there. That's why you're here. Instead of learning about the disease, how it presents, and how it progresses, you're digging in the archives looking for oddball cases like yours. If you learned the truth about the disease, you'd see that it is very unlikely that you have an MND. The fact that you have to call your case an atypical one (bilateral onset) should throw up a huge red flag to you -- that maybe you don't understand much about what you think could be causing your problem
It's your choice -- do what it takes to find out what's wrong with you (means going to real doctors, not searching the Internet) or continue to live in fear.
Your choice?
