    Update and hip weakness

    Hi all, not been on here for a while as had a lot on my mind! If you see my previous post a few months back on the als forum, that thread is now closed. Still trying to get help for ongoing neuro symptoms- see previous threads. Have been trying to get on with my life although the discomfort...

    Hi SUzannah, you posted on my thread a while ago and tried to reply but the thread is closed. Interested to hear that we have the same symptoms but with no diagnosis. How are you doing? Sorry I have taken so long to get in touch, have a lot on my mind.

    Now questioning my neuro problems...

    Re: Does anyone here have feet like mine? Upper limb symptoms are clumsy hands, dropping things, cramps if I touch cold things, weird arm and wrist postures (noticed by others before I even noticed.) left index finger starting to claw I think.

    Now questioning my neuro problems...

    Does anyone have feet like mine? Hi all, posted on als forum and everyone said it doesn't sound like ALS but maybe PLS. I obviously have something wrong with me and neuro and geneticist originally thought Freidrichs ataxia or a complicated hereditary spastic paraplegia....but... Had full gene...

    Now questioning my neuro problems...

    THank you, Wendy :) I very much hope it is something else too. All I have been told all along is that there is 'something going on' but no straight answer. I'm trying to be pushy now and have just booked an appointment with my gp, With the hope that I can get referred to a specialist centre...

    Now questioning my neuro problems...

    But yeap I'm very relieved if it doesn't seem to be presenting like Als. To be honest I think my doctors have been puzzled as they have described my presentation as 'unusual'. I think the fact that all my genetic tests have been negative has now made me think of non genetic causes such as...

    Now questioning my neuro problems...

    Thanks Lenore. I have NOT had an EMG but had a nerve conduction study, I think this is different, am I correct? (all they said about the ncs results was it fitted in with their diagnosis of upper motor neuron damage and something about anterior horn damage and repeat f waves.?!)

    Now questioning my neuro problems...

    Hi all, thank you for your replies:) To answer your questions....On my first neuro visit Freidrichs ataxia and complicated HSP were both mentioned very quickly. PLS has never been mentioned at all. MS has never been mentioned either. But now Freidrichs ataxia and any known form of HSP has been...

    Now questioning my neuro problems...

    Hi all. I am a young female who has been having on going neuro problems which now seem to be getting worse. I presented to my neurologist a few years back with spastic parapasesis. They were concerned as I was told my neuro exam was very abnormal. I have spasticity and weakness, muscle wasting...

    update. normalish emg etc.

    Hi Beky, ah yeah I do remember you mentioning spg7 before, just noticed it says that in your signature. That is fortunate that your insurance covered the genetic testing. Athough I guess finding the exact cause doesn't change your situation, it's always good to get answers for what you are...

    spasticity

    Very true, I had never even heard of spasticity prior to my first neuro visit. I assumed what I had was just weakness, was very shocked when I found out that most of my problems were caused by weakness AND spasticity. Looking back I can recognise the signs, but it was subtle for...

    spasticity

    My neurologist said very quickly that he could detect spasticity....on our first meeting he found hyper reflexes and he shook my legs and said they were spastic. Before this I had no idea I had spasticity although looking back I had signs. Mine started with a tight feeling in my calfs. My...
