Today I had my long awaited evaluation at Vanderbilt. There most of the day. I saw 2 neuromuscular specialists and 2 fellows. They were very thorough and reviewed all the MRIs and lab work. I had another nerve conduction and EMG. ( my third ones). Lower neuron problems in at least 3 parts of my body and upper neuron signs as well. They all agreed that I have ALS. My son, a MD, was there with me and asked some good questions.
So, on to the ALS Clinic here in Huntsville. If I don't like that, they told me I could always come back to Vanderbilt. I know I am going to have many questions. And I appreciate the help I have already received.
Will start on Rllutek Monday when the pharmacy receives it!
Very, very scared but not surprised. My family is rallying around me.
