Well I see I've confused some people. I went back and reread my post and I'm confused. Anybody else have the loss of reflexes? Kewanee

Thank you all. There is more to this. It is thought my Mom the last few months of her llfe had ALS. No emg. We had taken her to a neuro because her voice seemed different and she said her eyes bothered her. We were thinking stroke.The Doctor saw these minute fasics at the inside of her arms. She...

My Physio. just diagnosed me with ALS because he found problems in both arms and legs. However he seems to be overlooking the fact that my presenting symptoms included dropped feet with no reflexes. I started with hyper knee reflexes that went away in 2-3 weeks. The are normal. I told him my...

Thank you for your response. My reflexes at knee started out brisk and then stopped and became more normal but lost in ankles altogether. EMG and MRI was it so far. I'll keep in mind the places you mentioned.

Work it's way towards your trunk? I've got non stop stomach abdominal and midriff spasms that won't quit unless I'm sleeping or maybe in certain positions. I had an emg which the Doctor coldly barked at me was ALS. My reflexes were brisk. Only my lower legs and lower arms showed increased...

Yes I wouldn't mind seeing another site. How can they tell if it's ALS or the form that stays in the lower body?

I have had sensory axonal neurpathywhen they could not get anything and now they say knees are brisk but fee are not.

My mom was about six months into it when she fell and broke her hip. She died and cheated it. I begain having problems just during this same time with dropped toe and walking problems. Can walk but not to far. Balance issues. I've had neuropathy years ago and problems with my legs for years it...

I've had neuro. problems for years off and on. My mom just died from a fall that broke her hip but had ALS. Hers was upper. While she was about six months into it I started having walking problems worse than ever before. I just had an emg and he said ALS but it's in the lower parts. Could be...

Greg I also want to know more about the toe drop. Did you feel it happening? Were there any impulses running between knee and foot or toe that you could feel before this ? Any zapping nerve feelings?

So many neurological disorder share the same symptoms that it makes it difficult and of course we fear the one that could be fatal. MS, Lupus and even Sjogrens Syndrome can have these symptoms when affecting the nervous system. Generalized or other DYSTONIA'S can start this way. I would think...

They just put pieces together at the hospital and thought it looked like ALS. But prior to that my mom had slow speech and so we took her to a neuro. who found fasiculations on her arms. Her thumb was distorted and weak. Just before surgery her breathing seemed not as good as it should be. I...

My mom died this monday morning. I am devastated but also sick with worry about myself. For some time I have had complaints about my feet but the last few years it's been my feet and hands. Now in the last year besides those areas clawing and cramping even twisiting sometimes, I have a big toe...

Where did this video go, I cannot find it anymore?

In researching just today I found a mention of both husband and wife having ALS and some other close associates mentioned as well. Like football players and a group in Guam. Don't know why. I was on Answer.com and searched Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Many neuro. diseases as well as some...
