Everytime one doctor says I don't have ALS, another one says I do. Its been back and forth 7 times. Noone can figure this out!
I just went to MassGeneral and the head of the EMG lab, Dr David, said I didn't have ALS because I improve on antibiotics and IVIG but then he did an EMG and said I DID have it!
How can this be? I feel great, my strength and muscles are improving and so is my breathing. Without IVIG, I was close to needing a diaphram pacer.
What the heck disease looks like ALS on an EMG yet improves with IVIG?
