for wright or anyone who might know...
My neuro booked an appointment for me with the MDS before my symptoms had progressed to the point they are at now.
She completed her exam and said that there is nothing wrong with my "brain or central system" but is concerned about my fasciculations, impaired strength and gait and leg and hand atrophy. She said that she would recommend a full EMG work up and is sending me back to Dr. Strong, my neuro.
My question is, for anyone who might know...what else could cause fasciculations, weakness and atrophy?
I am feeling quite lost at the moment. Kind of like a ping pong ball. I feel like just staying away from the doctors until they can find something really indicative to point at and say "tah dah!"
Any feedback would be very welcome.
