    ALS, the only thing not ruled out?

    I come on this board frequently because I present so much like an ALS patient. I have foot drop and leg drag on my left side. My left hand and arm are completely useless and atrophied, I have terrible spasticity that is painful. I have fasciculations that happen mostly on my weak side (hate...

    ALS/Lymes

    Long Island is highly endemic for Lyme disease. Find a Lyme Literate Dr. They have many good ones in New York. If you can not find one, I will help you. They will most likely send your blood to IGENEX labs in California. The basic panel is $260.00. ( I think). Do not see a regular doctor...

    another undiagnosed predicament

    Mike, I'm in Michigan too. Look up Dr. Ledtke in Saginaw. He is a Lyme Literate Doctor and ALL your symptoms sound like Lyme disease. The standard ELISA tests are highly inacurate. Go see doctor ledtke and have your blood tested through IGenex labs in california.

    Need to start a new thread about pls

    Thanks Aly and all for the reply. I read from this forum that atrophy and fascicultions would show up on emg and my left hand is so bad I am surprised it didn't show up. I go back and forth in my mind that it doesn't matter anyway because what will be-will be and other times I begin obsessing...
