I am scared to the point of panic.
I am going for my EMG on Tues and I am scared to death. My Neuro keeps telling me not to worry because I pass her damn tests. To me those test don't mean a thing.
What is meaningfull is how I feel. The fasics are all over my body. They were not there last week. Although rare and slight they are there.
My swallowing is effected and my speech at a lower volume and gets raspy. When I tell my Nuero this she asks if I am slurring when i say no she reply that I should not worry.
I am so scared that the EMG will be dirty.
My Nuero also tells me that my reflexes are normal to hypo and my strength on all those test is fine or above normal.
Has anyone out there been DX with ALS that passed the Babinski test and had normal reflexes.
i can't concentrate, can't sleep and what is driving me more crazy is the thought that this could also me in my head.
Can someone talk me down here!
Thanks
