I thank everyone for the kind replies and advice. I feel my symptoms are worsening and getting into my neuro is about 30 days out. Years ago I visited the Cleveland Clinic and I am considering getting a virtual second opinion through their neuromuscular department. I was wondering if anyone has...

Thank you all for the kind replies. I wanted to update. I saw my neurologist who is my prior doctor and a very well regarded neuro muscular specialist. She would not do an emg at all. She had me walk and stand and sit. She dismissed me in 5 min and when I asked her about what could be causing...

Hi there and thank you so much for your reply. I am seeing the same Neuro I saw back 2 years ago. She is excellent and a very well regarded specialist in ALS here in Texas. The tremors they say are genetic. I’ve always had slight tremor in hands. But in the past 2 weeks when I am doing anything...
