Hello, I noticed that since april, whenever i exhale with strenght (like after a deep breath) my vocal cords vibrate in a hoarse way. I have acid reflux, but it is treated since years. I feel like a tension in throat. Could that be related to als, since sometimes it seems to start with voice...

Hi Vincent, i respect what you told me. Im in cure for anxiety already :)

Hi, it was a superficial EMG. What concerns me now is the muscle which keeps up the brow. It just works like at its 10%

Yes, but the emg was done in other muscles- hand/arm, forearm and other parts of face. Upon my question whether it could be als or similar, the doctor stated strongly that it is not myasthenia. I wonder if I had als he could actually notice something anyway. The emg was the superficial one...

Hi, I am not new to this forum. I was suspected of myasthenia gravis, which was ruled out by the doctor who did emg. I did also an eeg and a magnetic resonance of brain, about which I didn't get any feedback yet, waiting for the second visit at the neurologist. I am currently taking...

Helli, small update. I am again in a cycle of total body weakness. I noticed that my right eyebrow doesn't raise exactly like the left one. For example, if I open wide my eyes like for the surprise, both the palpebrae open together and raise to the maximum but the right eyebrow doesn't raise...

Hi Laurie, they did EMG to the legs only, and they were clear. They stated that for my other symptoms I should ask my doctor to check also the upper limbs - but at least I know that there is no wasting in muscles where I had balance problems and twitching , which leads me away from als, in my...

Have a question. In case of bulbar onset, what is the change happening to the voice? Latest days ive noticed people asking me to repeat what I say, more than once. They don't say though what I say is strange, they are all the time telling me to open the mouth. I noticed, in fact, that some...

Thank you Laurie for your kind answer! And for the formatting, I am ashamed now :)))

Hello, I am 32 and have a small story to tell. As far as I understood (I have no physiatric background, I am a pharmacist) als never sets on with feelings such as "tired muscle", or pain, or different sensivity than before to touch. Also, I think i have understood that it is a "all or nothing"...
