Nikki and Tillie, does constant muscle fatigue in the legs and burning feeling in the muscles points toward any early symptoms? Thank you again so much for all your helpfulness again. I'm still pursuing whatever this is.
Igelb, thank you for your reply. Just to clarify your first statement "to see als on emg requires widespread and acute and chronic denervation" do you mean that if you have als the emg will detect it in any muscle? So missing particular areas are irrelevant. Sorry, I was a little confused by...
Hi Mike. Thanks again for your valuable input. So an emg doesn't necessarily have to target the specific muscle it will pick it up in a general sense? Thanks again.
Nikki and Tillie, thank you so much for your replies. I saw two neurologists and neither said I had clinical weakness, but one went ahead and did an emg on the leg that I have been having trouble with and said that it pointed towards cramping fasciculation syndrome. How accurate are these emg's...

That's a logical question. As rare as this is I believe someone like yourself has a lot more exposure to people with the onset of this disease than a neurologist who may see it on a rare occasion. If you think my last set of symptoms I mentioned in my message are irrelevant to this and I'm...
Hell Atsugi. I'm so sorry to keep bothering you but I'm a nervous wreck. I've been doing moderate exercise such as walking lunges and I've had continual tightness in my right quad muscle and can't seem to stretch it out or loosen it. Left muscle is fine. The more I walk the tighter it gets. I...
