    My situation is worse, but until I have a diagnosis I don’t want to share anything on this forum. I honestly wish I could see your neuro, because I’ve lost faith in mine. I just created a separate email account so if you want to talk please feel free to email me and I can fill you in on what’s...

    Hey! Sorry I haven’t checked in on the forum for a while. I’m so happy to hear that you didn’t have many changes in your recent EMG. That is great news! I wish we could exchange emails so that we could talk more freely, as I am not that comfortable with visitor messages at this point, and I...

    Nikki, thank you. You are always so kind. It is very frightening, but at this point, I just want answers, whatever they might be. He did not tell me anything other than he found nerve damage in my foot and leg. I understood all of the terms he was using to describe what he was seeing to the...

    Post 2: He had a medical student with him, and was explaining what he was finding. I kept hearing this weird noise, which he told the medical student was a “PSW” (which I heard that noise many times), then he mentioned that “this is a CRD”, “this is increased insertional activity”, “this is...

    Post 1: I do not wish to post on the forum as I do not feel welcome there. I will update my condition from now on through my visitor messages, because I know what it’s like to want to know what someone’s outcome was, who did not come back with their prognosis. So anyone who wants to follow my...

    Update after Neuro visit

    Obviously I shouldn’t have posted an update. I apologize. Karen, I just want to clarify that during my appointment, I never once mentioned ALS or wanting/needing to have another EMG. I explained to him my symptoms, he did a physical exam in which he commented that I have atrophy, weakness...

    Update after Neuro visit

    Just wanted to check in. I had my follow up appointment with my neuromuscular specialist at OSU on Wednesday of last week. It was a completely different experience than I had the last time. I didn’t see the medical student, only my doctor, which I think made a huge difference. He actually...

    Hi! I hope you are doing well. I just wanted to let you know that I ended up going back to Dr.Stino for a follow up and it was such a better experience than the first time! I didn’t see the medical student this time, only my doctor which I think made a huge difference. He actually listened...

    Update and advice needed

    I have a follow up appointment with the neuromuscular specialist at OSU, but the wait is of course 4 months out, on October 30th. I wanted to ask 2 quick questions before my thread closes and then I will post an update after my appointment. The first question is more about FALS. I’ve tried...

    Update and advice needed

    Thank you very much for the responses. Yes, I have had loads of blood work. Vitamins, RA, ANA, lymes, paraneoplastic, etc. All negative or normal. I think the only blood work that hasn’t been checked is my thyroid levels. I have not seen a psychiatrist. I have been to several...
