After several months of seeing docs, even being told that I had a mass in my chest showing up in my MRI, which ended up being normal lymph nodes confirmed by further testing. I was diagnosed with ALS yesterday. My emg showed several bad areas in my arm, leg, back and even my tongue. I found a great doc who was very thourough with her exam and was easy to talk to. What a plus! This past month I have had new symptoms of cramping to several areas, including changes in my voice, where I have lost my normal pitch.
I feel this is a great site for support. I have to admit though. I have limited my comments until confirmation of my diagnosed due to other Pals being what I thought was pretty harsh comments to some new comers visiting this site for some inquiries of their own scary symptoms. I felt they should have not said anything being they did not offer any support to the individual, that I could see. Anyways, God be with us all. My thoughts and prayers are for all of us, whether we have ALS or even suspect it.
