  • I'm struggling with my fingers and speech as well. We are supposed to have the best doctors here in NYC - where was your last EMG done?
    I'm not doing to well . Had a second emg done last Friday, which came
    Back normal but, my fingers are giving me a lot of problems weak, thumbs, index fingers. It's becoming difficult the lack of coordination. How are you?
    Can we talk about what doctors you've seen and trusted? I'm always looking to get to the best doctor.
    Hey Vera - just wanted to let you know I'm 31 years old also and also live in the NYC area. Have went to an array or neurologists in NYC for my issues - you can check them out in my threads. These people on this website are amazing and give great info. Have helped me so much but I still have issues. Was wondering if you could message me and we can talk about what doctors we've seen? Would love to know what doctors you've experienced and if you recommend any? Could talk to you about my doctors as well. All I know is that they keep telling me its NOT ALS and that's all I have that keeps me feeling happy. Hope to hear from you soon.
    Vera, two things. First, the post below this one is a Visitor Message you left to yourself, so few people will see it. I suggest you post in the subforum titled "Do I Have ALS."

    Second, I had to delete the post you put in someone else's thread, because we have an important rule here: Persons not already diagnosed with ALS/MND must confine their posts to their own thread, and only within the Do I Have ALS subforum.
    I want to say about 16 month ago I started with excruciating pain in my right hand ( had that for about 4 month). As soon as that pain started I was experience pain in my left index finger, and thumb, like joint pain and nerve pain radiating up my fingers. After this days later, my limbs started jerking left, right arm, leg. Also was having like full body jerks. This all stop and I started have body wide twitches. Fast forward up to date, I have moments like minor panick attacks and can't breath. Now the same very fingers that were hurting me 16 month ago have clinical weakness. Had an EMG 12 months ago, came back normal. Does this sound like als?
