Thank You so much for answering me! I really really appreciate it! The main reason I kind of doubt the tongue emg is because my neuro said that those could be a bit difficult to read because the tongue is difficult to hold still. Therefore one might miss spontaneous activity. She showed me the...

Hello all! One week ago I had a new emg done because of observed fascikulations in my tongue by doctor (some I feel some I do not feel...) I also have continuous twitching in both legs and also random all over my body... The twitching has been going on for 14 months now.... My right leg is...

Ok, this is of course scary.... My neuro said that both denervation and reinnervation should be present in als. I have fascikulations in all parts of my body, would those "eventually show up in the emg then, as large MUPS? Why do I only have mup in one muscle when I am twitching all over? This...

Hello! I have read many places that in ALS there is something called reinnervation period or process. The healthy motorneurons manages to replace the dying ones as long as they can. But when there are no healthy motorneurons left to replace the ones who dies off this period will of course be...

Thank You for answering, 13 months of this, Its very hard.... Trying to get to work, take care of my kids, just be a good mother for them.... What about a new emg? The constant achy and heavy arms semester troubling.... Thank You once more!

Forgot to say that my emg 3 months ago was normal except one muscle which showed large mup. The neuro said it could be from an old injurier.....

This is so confusing.... 3 months since I had a new emg after 9 months of twitching... But What about the constant twitching that never stops!? My legs and feet are going all day! I am totally fatigued in my arms and hands..lifting Even small objects and brushing my har makes them burn as hell...

I hope You have some insight, I have no one else to ask and You have been giving me a lot of helpful information in the past. Short background: twitching all over my body, continuously in legs and feet. Some I feel, some I dont. The twitcing (seen by neuros) started 13 months ago. Had one emg 4...

Please, cold anyone answer my question about EMG? Thank You for all other answers, I really appreciate it! Tina

Thanks for all replies.... Even though I am still wondering about The emg that was performed only on one side of my body.. Would it pick up abnormalities on The opposite side? Kiwisally, not sure what you mean exactly, that your fasciculations was The first symptom regarding mnd? Hmmm, that is...

I know I have asked about another emg before, but this is for another reason.... Does anyone know if the emg done only on one side of the body would reveal if something is wrong on the hand on the side of the body that was not emg`d?+ And why is it so? I thought the emg only would discover if...

Happy new year to you all! I have a question about my emg done 5 months ago and a constant twitch in my left hand. When my emg was done I only had my right arm and leg/thigh done. It was clean. I had widespread twitching for 3-4 weeks before the emg was taken. Can the emg be trusted if the...

Can anyone pleeease explain why tremors is listed as a symptom of ALS in some internetpages? Very scared... is it because of muscleweaksness perhaps? My tremors occur bodywide, including face when I smile and so on... Thank you!

Thank you for your reply! The twitching and tremors makes me crazy! I just thought the tremors would go away after a while after I started on Escitalopram... ...so tremors are not upper motor symptoms like I have heard? Thanks again!:-)

Hello! Does anyone know if tremor is part of early als. My tremors are mostly in arms and hands wich I of course use the most... They are only presents after using my hands...etc.. I unfortunately read that tremor presents with als on the internet... If this is true, what causes these tremors...
