Sorry I have not commented in such a long time, but I am really trying to keep my mind on ANYTHING ELSE ! I actually 2 weeks ago went to an ALS support group with my wife ( who has been going often ) , but I don't know what I was thinking...I actually felt worse seeing what will eventually happen to me. Anyway, my question : When I was first diagnosed, I had a slight numbness in the toes on my foot. The Dr. told me it had nothing to do with ALS, something else was going on. Since then I have had tons of blood work, and 2 MRI's, which showed only that I have a small bulging disc . In the 2 months since, the numbness has increased, now I can barely feel any of my toes, and it is impossible to flex my ankle , my foot feels kinda dead. . My legs always feel weak, and I was fitted with a brace for stability, so I can continue to work. Is this part of ALS, or do I really have something else going on ? By the way, my original EMG came back positive, and I also have twitching everywhere at this point, its getting harder to fall asleep when your body DOESN'T want to keep still !
Thanks
