Hi Rosales, I appreciate the advice and Im sorry about your brother and hope that while you feel you have the same symptoms, I hope that you come out with a clean bill of health. As for the testing, Im holding tight on that as of right now. My father has 4 brothers all within 10 years in age...

I'm sorry, I did notice that after I posted but we do not have the ability to go back and edit. If you've had EMG's performed and they've come back fine, you are probably just dealing with some really high anxiety. You can only go by what the test results show. Unfortunately it sounds like...

Hi help1127, That lump in the back of your throat is probably the overall anxiety taking hold. You stated that you have generalized anxiety and then you went ahead and googled "twitching" which resulted in a search for ALS. Then all of a sudden, you start feeling these other issues...

Yeah, I was a bit confused on that as well but I didn't dig into too much further with my parents. I'm not trying to be too selfish here with the whole thing. My dad is going through enough and if he tells me that the neuro is assured it's SALS, then I'm going with it at this point. I'm...

Thank you for the advice. My parents are getting everything in line right now. They made me executor of their estate and my father is just now putting in for his retirement. Luckily for him he will have a really nice pension along with social security as well as his benefits. He's going to be...

Thanks for the reply Nikki! I guess the first thing after diagnosis is trying to figure out "why?" My father also suffered a really nasty concussion in a car accident some years ago as well. I know that with all of the ALS cases in the NFL, that doctors have been trying to link major head...

Thanks Jerry! You're right......it sucks.

Hi Spencer. I see that you are showing a ton of different symptoms and all of them could be related to so many things other than ALS. If you are not content with your current EMG results, then maybe you should get retested. A neurologist will look for specific things in the EMG to see if...
