Hi, I have just joined this support group because I think I have MND.
I have had weakness in my left arm and hand for about 10 months. I went to my doctor in January and he referred me to a specialist. I saw him in February when I had an EMG test which showed that I did have weakness. I was then referred to a neurologist who I finally saw on September 10th by which time the weakness in my hand had got much worse and I was also experiencing weakness in my leg has caused me to trip and fall 3 times.
The neurologist examined me and said I need another EMG and an MRI full body scan. I asked if it could be MND and he said he wanted to rule everything out before making a diagnosis.
He said it will be another 3 or 4 months before I find out but he would mark it as urgent.
I have had a letter today saying my EMG is on October 8th.
I dont know how I will cope with the wait to find out, its so stressful
