    High Anti-GAD numbers in ALS?

    Thanks Kim. I’m hoping that my friend will get in to see the right neuromuscular specialist. Its a difficult situation, as she is limited by her medical coverage (state benefits) and by what the doctors who are evaluating her are recommending. I’m praying that the right doctor for her will...

    High Anti-GAD numbers in ALS?

    Thank you, Nicki. I understand that the neurologist from the university hospital was specialized. She essentially told my friend the diagnosis was based on EMG and not finding any other explanation for her symptoms and progression. My friend isn’t very impressed with the brief explanation and...

    High Anti-GAD numbers in ALS?

    Checking back in after a visit to the rehab facility that my friend is staying at. Apparently, the neurologist at the University hospital does think it’s ALS and sent her to rehab and home from there with recommendations for a hospital bed, etc. A neuro that sees her in the rehab facility has...

    High Anti-GAD numbers in ALS?

    Ugh. Sorry Laurie, I misread your question about “how high the numbers are” to mean the EMG data. I think you were referring to her anti-GADantibodies. I have seen different scales for this number- but here is the data from her test result:

    High Anti-GAD numbers in ALS?

    Thank you Laurie for the link to that article. I have saved the article and will share with my friend. I’m very interested in how hypothyroidism and family history of diabetes relate (or don’t relate) to the anti-GAD antibodies. The article discusses this and I’ll just need to read it a few more...

    High Anti-GAD numbers in ALS?

    Thanks for weighing in on the EMG. She has asked about the GAD antibodies and I think that is why there is still mixed messages on the diagnosis. Unfortunately, they moved her from the university hospital, but I’m hopeful she will have on going communication with that team. I’ll update if any...

    High Anti-GAD numbers in ALS?

    Hi Karen, I’m attaching a jpeg file which shows the summary results of my friends EMG. If useful, I can post the whole report. My friend has been transferred to a rehab facility. There seems to be differing opinions or uncertainty about her diagnosis. Her chart does state ALS now-but the...
