Hello,
i am 28 years old and had clinical diagnostic two weeks ago. I think i am on the way to have ALS, do you share my anxieties?
I went to the hospital (University hospital) due to twitches 24/7 all over my body. In March it began with cramps in my calves. Two weeks later also in my arms, shoulder and back. The neulologist did and EMG and NCV. How do you interpret these findings:
NCV:
- in both legs reduced: 30-40 m/s
- motor Amplitudes reduced: 2,0-2,9 mV
- sensible neurography normal
- NCV in arms ok
EMG:
- fasciculations in several muscels
- no fibs or PSW
- the muscle of my thumb has an high MUP of 4,8mV (they located three regions in this muscle, only the one has this high MUP)
Today, i have also twitches in my face and sometimes in my tongue. But i can not see fibillations when i look into a mirror. I have no weakness yet, but my endurance is getting worse
How do you interpret these findings? I need help, i think i have ALS!
