In just over a week I'm scheduled to go back to the ALS specialist for further evaluation. I want to make sure I make the best use of the time so I'm putting together a list of questions. There are a couple of things that I'm not sure are worth bringing up so any input will be helpful.
The weakness they found is in my hands. I've noticed that the weakness is much more profound when my hands get cold. When I warm them up they are much, much better. Has anyone else experienced this? Should I mention this to her?
My widespread twitching seemed to get much better. Then about a week ago fired up on all cylinders again. Does that indicate anything?
If anyone has any suggestions as to what to ask the neuro I'd like to know.
I'm not sure what to expect. They didn't say anything about another EMG or NCS. I guess they will do the strength and reflex tests.
