Time will tell I'm predicting it to be revealed and made well known very soon, since I was incompetently prescribed that poison it's been banned for mere sinus infections and next year it will be taken off the market completely. I'm still hoping though I can recover from it and not get anything...

Here is one such article Rx warning: possible mitochondrial toxicity I hope in my case it won't cause me serious harm like it has others and recover from what feels like poison though it's been many months now.

Hi thanks for your response, I have had an MRI which showed small vessel disease but didn't explain my symptoms I also saw the ENT but nothing was found. I have another appointment with the neurologist in Feb so I'm hoping for good news but going from the way I'm feeling I'm afraid it won't be...

Hi Karen, I'm entirely going off what I've been told and read I know this antibiotic is a first line treatment in America but not Australia as other docs have told me it's usually only used when nothing else has worked due to its many dangerous side effects. There's also many articles...

Hi everyone, firstly to describe when this all started I took an antibiotic called ciproflaxin for a persistent headache that my doc believed was sinisitis. Since then I found out this was a bad decision as I had no tests to confirm it and this drug is only used in life or death circumstances...

Hi Nikki, the examiner and neurologist were indeed the same person but I wasn't given anything except for a battery of other tests such as Head Ct, MRI, blood tests ect, and I will do another EMG in 3 months. I'm guessing if things have changed so much in just one month then i don't know what it...

Well I had an EMG/ Nerve conduction study and the results weren't as positive as I had hoped. I don't have the report with me but she said there was abnormalities and my left calf muscle was 50% weaker then the right. I'm not surprised as its now considerably smaller on appearance. My main...

Yes good point I will do that, and I wish all the best for those suffering on this forum. Aaron

Thanks, the thing is other then the pain/cramping I've noticed I recently tried doing a few strength tests and my left hand (the index finger) can't do much of Anything I know the left is weaker then the right but this is a profound difference. Anyway I know no one can be diagnosed here I just...

I had a clean emg 12 months ago for another cause, if I did have the beginnings of all now would it most likely have showed up then? Thanks

So from what I've read am I right in thinking things like pain, cramping and stiffness only come later in the disease after clinical weakness?

Thanks that brings me some relief as I mostly feel it's sensory feelings above any severe weakness. I also have a dry mouth so it may be autoimmune related. I saw on the news there's a new treatment being trailed here in Australia called "copper atsm" as its been proven to halt the disease in...

That's a good idea thanks!

Not much other then wait and see if it improves. It's a bit frustrating. Does profound weakness usually proceed any other symptoms? Thanks for your response!

Hi everyone I'm just curious to the initial symptoms of ALS, I've read the stickies and it didn't outline what I'm experiencing but I'd like to ask anyway. I'm a 32 year old male and for the last month I've had painful muscles in my hands especially after using them to do things. It's a feeling...
