Hello all, well it has been a long time. I purposly stayed away from this site because my worries were getting out of hand and I decided to stop doing re-search about ALS .I must say things have gotten better as far as my worries is concern.
Well 7 months after my fasciculations started and 4 after my last EMG, my fasciculatios keep going strong..good news is I just came back from seeing my neurologist
He did a neurological evaluation and check my strength and reflexes as well as looked for any signs of muscle loss. He told me that as far as he can tell everything still looks fine to him. Still no sign of any other symptoms so I was really encourage by that.
He told me to comeback in about 4 to 6 months and he will do another evaluation as well as a second EMG just to follow things up.
I just wanted to share this with you as I know how supportive you have been to me these past months.

Thank you again for all your support.

Blessings

Uriel

Great to hear that news Uriel. Let us know how things go next visit. Some of us are a bit worse, we've lost a few members but mostly we're the same upbeat bunch of whacko's as before. Take care.
