My dad said that I sounded nasaly on the phone yesterday and that was totally unprompted, and a friend has said that my voice sounded "even" deeper than normal recently. (I have a naturally deep voice). My wife on the other hand (who I've entirely worn out at this point) swears I sound fine...

I misunderstood the verbal summary given to me after the test. It looks like abnormalities were in the H-reflex study - not my EMG. Seeing these results I am definitely feeling more hopeful than I was previously. Still very scared at the progression Im feeling and not sure what the heck is going...

I got my EMG yesterday of the legs. I wish they would have done an arm to show changes there from the first one 2 months ago. Leg EMG was abnormal like the arms - the performer (not neurologist) stated that they didn't see widespread nerve damage, but did see localized issues in my lower spine...

"It started 9 months ago with painless left hand weakness/clumsiness in fingers." Then 9 months after the EMG identifies a C7 issue they had full loss of use. My EMG was just 2 months ago - I can already see clear differences between my right and left lower arm/wrist/hand muscles. Certain...

Ive been reading for a post that resonates with my symptoms or posts that help make me feel like my symptoms couldnt result in ALS, and today - my heart and stomach fully dropped out when I found this one. Its exactly what I am feeling and going thru. And it resulted in a diagnosis. Started...

What's worrying me most is the duration and slow progression of symptoms im feeling. Most other "is this ALS" threads I see involve a quick scare that goes away or lasts maybe a month or two. This has been going on almost a year for me now and it's steadily getting worse and worse. At this...

Here are the EMG results. I see the note about polyneuropathy not being suspected, wondering: should I ask for Leg EMG where the twitching is most pronounced now? If it's not ALS - really not sure what could be causing all of the twitches all over my body? I've started to feel twitches in my...

I have requested a copy of the results. Will upload next week when I receive.

Symptoms: From most definite/debilitating to least. 1. Very noticeable hand motor skill loss. Fumbling while trying to hold my phone, typos galore, can't smoothly move the mouse cursor around the computer screen, finding the seam to open ziplock bags or picking up something thin is harder...
