    Genetic Testing

    Just received my diagnosis last Monday. CBD, corticobasal degeneration. Rare and complex and I was told that's why it was difficult to diagnose. Dr. stated it's similar to ALS progression, but hopefully will progress slower. I thank everyone on here for your help, but I know this isn't the...

    So far they ordered the SPS and many other blood test for autoimmune disorders of the CNS that were not previous done.

Only difference was that it showed some fasciculation that was not seen before. Otherwise it's continuing to show short duration motor potential in various muscles and...

    Myopathic EMG and Neurogenic Biopsy

    Nikki J thank you for the information. I guess it would be hard to say if there is any failure in the left Gluteus Medius seeing that muscle works with other muscles. Definitely makes walking harder especially longer distances or stairs. Clinical weakness was documented with reinnervation, but...
