My daughter started with stiff calf muscle, inability to touch heel to ground and she trips frequently. She has had EMG on legs only, MRI of head and neck. She has over active reflexes much more pronounced in her legs. Dr at University of MN says 95% chance of ALS, with more certainty if she gets EMG in upper body and a spinal tap. She is 28 years old, no family history. We have an appointment at Mayo Clinic this week for a second opinion. What else can I suggest it could be? Had one test for Lymes, negative. She was on a beach in Mexico over a year ago and got bit on her legs by something, many small bites followed by infection. Anyone have any great ideas?
