Yesterday I had my Spinal Tap. So far I have managed to ward off the dreaded headache. Besides a occasional discomfort where they took the fluid I've felt quite fine. Last night I slept well last night as I had no twitches that I could feel all night; whether its a coincidence or not I dont...

I would like apologise to anyone I may have upset, this was not my intention. I'd like to thank everyone who has taken time to reply. Many thanks to you all, Stuart.

@Bestfriends14 This is my coping mechanism. I like to understand what these medical terms mean. Understand how doctors are coming to their conclusions. Questioning why lack of "reinnervations" could be a good thing. My neurologist has said it is most probably MND/ALS. But that is not his...

A question about EMG if people don't mind. I've heard the phrase denervation and reinnervations. This is my understanding. Reinnervations are near by nerves trying to reconnect to muscle fibers who's nerves have died. This is detectable in the EMG. Denervation, is the detecting the muscle...

The physical examination I had on my first neurologist appointment, he did say I had tightness (which I presume is spasticity) in my left wrist and leg. He basically grabbed both arms by the wrist and shook them so my wrists would flop about. Is that enough for clinical diagnosis of...

I have never mentioned MND to any doctor or neurologist. The Neurologist mentioned it to me. he said with the symptoms i described and the tests he's done, it cant be ruled out. The MRI was to check for cervical spondylosis or MS but it was clear. The Neurologist said everything else he can...

He has noted atrophy in my left shoulder and my left leg, however no clinical weakness. I have days when my arm and leg feel a bit wobbly but then have days when they feel perfectly normal. 2 nights ago my leg was so wobbly it felt like it could give way at any moment, but the next morning, it...

That is how I have read it. The EMG basically said I have muscle twitches. As the conclusion says "The only abnormality noted in the EMG examination is the presence of fasciculations in distal and proximal limb muscles and in cranial innervated muscles. The nerve conduction parameters...

I have added the document which was sent to my Neurologist. It looks different to the other ones which I have seen on here.

Are you able to explain that a little? I thought denervations are the nerves dying and reinnervations is the body trying to work around/fix the dead nerves. I though no reinnervations meant als/mnd because as the nerves died there's no attempt by the body to try and fix. I have emailed the...
