Thank you so much, Laurie and Kim. I am so sorry for the bother, but can anyone tell me what reduced recruitment means? I’ve googled and googled and can’t find an answer. I know it’s bad news if the EMG shows active denervation/reinnervation, but in all my googling I can’t figure out if that’s...

Thank you so much, Kim. I’m so worried about the EMG report - I had no idea it was so revealing. It’s so strange he’s had widespread fasiculations with just feelings of weakness for nearly seven months - I’ve been clinging to hope that this must be a good sign. Would a second opinion at an ALS...

He hasn’t been tested for heavy metals or had his B vitamins checked recently - and they were extremely low about a year ago. Thank you again for your wisdom.

Thank you for your reply, Nikki. Should we hold out hope for ALS “mimics?” (Re: the stickies). Really the stickies are keeping me hopeful the bad EMG could mean something else. He hasn’t been checked for many of the other mimics listed. Or maybe I’m holding onto false hope since the EMG must be...

Here’s the EMG report. Thank you so much for any insight. I should add he had some kind of stroke in 2015 that went largely undocumented (he didn’t even know it had happened) and I understand that might affect the EMG report, too? Thank you again for any insight during this confusing time...

Thank you so much for your replies! I will try to get my hands on the report. Apparently the doctor said it had to be ALS because the EMG showed problems with both the upper and lower motor neurons. I’ve combed through as much as I can to determine if anything else can cause problems with both...
