Well.. I made it over 2 years without logging in...but I have renewed concerns.
History: 2012 twitching, perceived weakness all over..had 5 exams and 5 clean EMG's between then and 2015. Accepted no ALS
Fast Forward: Extreme fatigue and twitching since 2015 but no clinical weakness. April 2017 Full body twitching and profound overall exhaustion. Zero stamina to walk up stairs or wash my hair, but no clinical weakness as Neuro exam clean (2 weeks ago). Husband can't push my arms down when outstretched, but reaching for glass in cabinet getting harder by the day?? Legs so tired, have to sit after walking across the room.
Should I get another EMG? Or for anyone willing, please send a quick reassurance that I should look elsewhere for diag..Thank you to any responders.
How often does ALS start as weakness all over? I promise to not bother after your responses. Thanks to anyone willing to discuss. (Nikki)
