    Thanks Gil! I haven't had my EMG yet. It's in a month...and I'm not looking forward to the wait. Did she see her doctor immediately after onset of symptoms?

    I went to my primary doctor and ordered blood work. All normal and wanted me to see another neuro. I saw the neuro yesterday. He said my exam was normal and didn't see anything that would make him suspect ALS. He ordered an MRI of my spine and an EMG. I can still hop on one foot..walk on my...

    Hi Dusty. I'm not sure if you read my post of not regarding my legs. Back late April I began having range of motion issues with my neck as well as aches, stiffness, pins, muscle twitching, and on occasion ants crawling. I know ALS doesn't affect sensory nerves, but I've read people do experience...

    Do you think if I had ALS it would be obvious after 2-3 months of symptoms? Does ALS weaken one muscle at a time? As in it paralyzes one muscle and moves on to the next?Or can it weaken an extremity first (ex. legs) and move to the upper body? The second neurologist said my exam was normal and...

    Hi Atsugi. I figured I would message you so I really won't put a burden on anyone else. You're very helpful. I know I sound like a broken record..and I seem to be going crazy. But after two normal exams both about two months apart, do you think it's possible at all that I may have ALS? I know...

    ALS worry

    Hello everyone. I had my exam today. He said everything was normal. He's going to perform an EMG in a month and also an MRI of my lower back. He laughed when I mentioned ALS. "We'll check for that..but it's highly unlikely. He said ALS patients can experience pain and aches..but that's much...

    Does This Appear to be ALS

    I'm definitely a little un balanced. When I stand with my feet together, eyes closed I can feel myself swaying a little. My right leg is definitely weaker than the left. My right arm feels a little weaker today. I can feel a sensation in my right trap. I can use my arm just fine, though. Are...

    Does This Appear to be ALS

    The weakness has been about the same. I haven't ran in a couple of months. It's just some days it aches really bad. Yesterday my arms felt like spaghetti and felt so un balanced.

    Does This Appear to be ALS

    Thank you for the input everyone. I guess it's not really tingling..more like pins and needles feeling. I occasionally get numbness and twitching in my face, too. My physical therapist thinks it's due to nerves in the neck. I'm going to my primary care doctor today to have him do blood work to...
