Sorry to bother those of you afflicted with this awful disease and those who care for someone who has it, but I can't seem to shut this illness out of my mind.
About two months ago I exhibited sudden onset of limb weakness, muscle twitching, muscle ache, and a burning sensation all over. Since then, not too much has changed. Muscle twitching is wide spread. I have had slight swallowing and breathing issues, but it is possibly related to anxiety. So far, I've had a clean MRI, clean bloodwork, one clean emg, and a second emg showing decreased cmap after fatiguing my muscle for 1 minute.
My neurologist suspects myasthenia gravis. I could use some reassurance that als is out of the question at this point. The twitching really makes me uncomfortable.
