I have been to my doctors and they said nothing. Sent me away with a blood test and anti-inflammatory gel.

I was on here a 2 years ago with concerns of ALS and once my EMG came back clean, i was told it was all good. Here i am still experiencing problems which i am very worried about, especially since i have read TWO posts today where both people had clean EMGs (one christmas time and one even more...

You have had numerous EMGs, the neuros are 99% sure you do NOT have any disease, ALS or PLS (which one is it you want the most!? I see you think you have PLS now too). I have seen you've been having symptoms for OVER a decade yet your 'stomach muscles' have only just been effected?... Wow...

Hi there.. Do yourself a favour and read my previous posts. I was in your position, CONVINCED i had this disease.. utterly convinced. So convinced that i was experiencing all the symptoms that you could possibly get. I COULD SEE atrophy. I couldn't lift things, turn things, hold things... I...

Do me a favour and check my posts from the beginning of the year. The more you fear it, your anxiety will turn into the symptoms you are fearing - that's a fact. Everything I read, I had. Even now, 11 months on, I still twitch, I am still constantly exhausted, I'm dizzy - loads of things...

At the beginning of the year i was absolutely 100% sure i had ALS. No one could tell me i hadn't. I had an EMG which showed no abnormalities apart from C7 Radiculopathy. I was twitching 24 hours a day. I 'had' atrophy and 'weakness'. I spent HOURS doing tests on myself, finding that my...

That's unkind. I am not a fraud. I am a worried, single mother of a 13 year old son. I cannot leave the house alone (agoraphobia) and i have just been dumped by my boyfriend of 3 years. I am a wreck and although the meds have STOPPED my anxiety, my symptoms still persist. I am NOT here to...

I'm sorry that you're getting annoyed with me. I've had basic neuro tests that showed up brisk reflexes - And an EMG that took less than 20 minutes. He did both legs, one arm and my shoulder, was diagnosed with C7 radiculopathy but e never went near my jaw/tongue. I just called my doctors and...

Yes. I do. But i am scared... All my symptoms are getting worse (slurring, jaw aches when eating, tremoring jaw ALL THE TIME, now jaw/mouth tremors when its open, goodness know how i would go to the dentist).

I cannot get the the doctors until at the earliest end of next week... Do you think it sounds a bit like ALS with all the other things i have got going on?

My jaw jerk reflex is very brisk and my jaw moved A LOT....

HELP! I was cleaning my teeth and noticed that while flossing (with my mouth open obviously) my lips/mouth was really quivering, twitching and shaking.... this is NEW!

I had an EMG - No tongue. Don't recall having a facial exam. And never had any speech or swallow study.

This is where my worries are. I'm on meds, highest dose and I am STILL having symptoms. :( I'm really scared.

I'm getting more and more concerned. I'm getting worse. Speaking is hard work, thats the only way i can put it, especially toward the end of the day. Everything feels like a tongue twister and i am slurring most words. My jaw feels heavy and its constantly 'chattering'. My tongue...
