Yes another EMG scheduled at UPMC Pittsburgh with Neuro next week. Had CK blood work yesterday. My Nuero who said I had Parkinson's has me seeing someone else. If you read my last thread you will know the craziness my life has been. Twitching has increased with weakness, lethargic, unmotivated...
My new EMG was pushed to today at 4pm. See what happens? On another note: has anyone ever experienced a feeling in bottom of feet like there is a mass of flesh, lump or something under the skin. My right foot feels like there is something there right where my toes start. Very strange feeling...

brooksea: Yes this was the ALS specialist at AGH in Pittsburgh, PA. Said with complete confidence that it would show up on the Muscle Biop. When we first arrived and took a call from his daughter about a sports event then even left the room to talk with her made me feel like I wanted to get up...
Oh yeah, he also said the muscle biopsy would show the ALS. I read elsewhere muscle bio is used to rule out other issues and is not used for ALS. At the end of the day I just want to know what the heck is wrong with me. The DAT showed no Parkinsons. If I didn't have that scan I would still have...
