Hi - first post and apologies if I’m on the wrong section.
I have a range of symptoms but not going to ask people to second-guess if they mean I have ALS, my question is:
Had a neuro exam this week and, other than Fasciculations, the neuro said in his report “no other objective abnormalities with the limbs” but also referred me for an EMG and NCS (my insurance will pay for this).
If this is the case and the EMG comes back in the manner(s) that they do for ALS, would a diagnosis be possible under these circumstances - ie since I believe it’s primarily a clinical diagnosis and given the neurologist’s comments?
Thank you for reading.
