Thank you for your answer Greg -I am outta here!

I totally respect the people on this Forum , I was just enquiring as I have considerable pain and read conflicting posts with posts saying no pain as symptom and others with pain as a symptom - I CERTAINLY AM NOT LOOKING TO DISRESPECT ANYBODY AT ALL ,I have been put forward for a further EMG and...

Ok one other point which seems to be conflicting on the forum - is there pain with ALS/MND or not , I have constant pain in both legs and left arm and hand and breathless too which causes pain in middle of chest ,some knowledgeable people on here say no pain and others say there is -confusing?

Ok-point taken many thanks for your words Mike and Shiftkicker ,it is not my intention to cause any harm or offence to people with this horrendous disease ,was just looking for advice but hopefully I will not have to return to this forum if EMG and Lung function tests do not point in direction...

Thanks for your reply Mike and I take on board what you say however the 2nd Neurologist has requested for me to have EMG and Lung function tests and said I defo have something going on although he doesn't see MND/ALS based on Clinical test he gave me and he also doesn't see atrophy but I defo...

Hi -Sorry to post yet again but I am still very concerned, my symptoms have persisted and I also have some new ones and looking for advice. I was not impressed with the first Neurologist I saw and she discharged me even though I had very real and visible symptoms, Stomach twitching (constantly)...

Many thanks for your reply Vincent , would like to also say that noticed dents in both legs too and they feel weak but am not sure if this is me perceiving weakness,my main point you answered with if an EMG would pick up problems way before twitching/possible atrophy and you answered this.

I have posted before so sorry to post again but I am still very concerned so much so that my GP has referred me for a 2nd opinion. I had an EMG done in August and it come back with Nerve Conduction as normal although evidence of left Ulnar neuropathy at the elbow which looks quite severe with...

Thank you Shiftkicker for your prompt response , does EMG of limbs count for whole body in being clear of ALS/MNd

Had EMG today -thoughts please Had EMG today after referred from Neurologist due to twitching /muscle cramps , was tested in both legs/calves/feet and technician told me that was clean and saw nothing of any note pointing towards MND/ALS -he also checked my hands/arms and said slight damage to...

Hi there, I posted a few weeks back and got some responses to my initial concern about ALS/MND due to varied symptoms that I have experienced over past 7 months . Anyway I saw a Neurologist on 6th July and she done a full clinical examination of me and said that as far as she could see there...

Just an update to my post , I had an appointment with a Neurologist today who gave me a thorough examination and tested my reflexes , responses etc and had me walking backwards and forwards ,sideways , on heels, tiptoes etc and said she is totally convinced that I do not have ALS or any...

I don't accept the stress and depression diagnosis ,that's what they say but they cannot give me a reason for the back and stomach pain/weight loss/Fatigue/twitching which is worrying -I accept that ALS doesn't usually start with pain but symptoms seem to have got worse in past couple of months...

Thank you for your reply , my first symptom was a dull ache in back and I know from what I have read pain is normally not an initial symptom , worried about the weight loss but again is that a symptom , I am eating ok and maintain an appetite ,thank you again for any advice
