    Sorry...Im back after 2 years for reassurance

    Clean EMG. For all you worriers... I was totally convinced I had ALS. But I DON'T. Trust your Dr and everyone on this site. Just because you twitch, feel weaker every day, think your muscles are smaller, and don't "feel" right, you most likely don't have MND. I was SO convinced. Look and listen...

    Sorry...Im back after 2 years for reassurance

    @Clearwater Al.... I have not had an EMG since 7/2015 (2 yrs). I had several (4 or 5) between 2012 and 2015. My symptoms have never subsided in the 5 years since my first fasciculation in 2012. In 2015, I decided to just live a chronically ill life without seeking anymore medical attention...

    Thank you.. Just trying to living with chronic illness for over 5 years without a name has been difficult. I am not afraid of ALS so much anymore, just want some answer to this. I've been to so many physicians (psychatrists too) to get a diagnosis and I don't think there is one at this point...

    Since Sept 2012, I have had about 10 normal Neuro exams, from about 4 different neurologists. The most recent last week. One dr said positive jaw jerk 2 weeks ago. The only real objective part of the Neuro exam to me, are reflexes. Over 2+ yrs I've had anywhere from 2-3+. The strength test...

    Why can't I move on? I don't expect anyone to respond but... The increased shortness of breath, the fumbled speaking, can't sing loudly anymore, the weak neck, the weak jaw. How do I move on from pseudobulbar and UMN? It is still very possible that I am UMN only with all these symptoms..right...
