Hey everybody,
So I went to Borrow's neruo clinic and finally seen a neurologist. She was very young but it was her and the main attending doctor that examined me. They said that my reflexes were brisk but symmetrical around my whole body so they must be normal for me is what they said. they couldn't find any weakness or dexterity problems.
They did a lot of little tests and I was there quite a while.
But they said that they aren't going to do anything but want to see me in three months to see if anything has changed. The felt there was no reason and didn't even mention a EMG and decided against a MRI. I mentioned ALS and that conversation lasted all of about 1 minute. I also mentioned the twitching and she said without obvious weakness its quite normal.
So To all of you: Do I give this a rest? and just take their word for it? Or should I get a second opinion?
Thank you for your time
