    Sorry to hear that. I'd say I've lost about 25-30% mass in left biceps, shoulder, pec, and on my back. It has been fairly rapid. I've got a lot going on and I'm just kinda tired. I don't have insurance and can't afford to keep going to the doctor let alone another EMG or neuro trip. Just ready...

    Sorry - you said you're still not sure. Do you have fasciculations too? If so, did you have widespread twitching before or after you thought you had ALS? I spontaneously had widespread and non stop random twitching when I thought I might have ALS. I wish we could DM on here!

    Wow, that's amazing! I was just reading about this earlier. Spine MRI normal. EMG showed no signs of ALS but that it was similar to "myotonia" where anytime he moved the needle any fiber touched slightly contracted which caused any other fibers nearby to contract. He said I had BFCS and...

    Thanks for replying Nikki. I am fortunate to make pretty decent money but we are single income and just cannot afford health benefits at this time. The EMG cost about $2,000.00 last time. I could probably swing it right now but might potentially put me in a bad financial spot. Correct -...

    Hello everyone, Previous Thread: Terrified i have ALS I had an EMG performed and was diagnosed with BFCS. I accepted my twitching as a part of me and emotionally got over what I had going on. I posted an update to the post I have linked above. The past few months have been rough. My left...

    twitching has gotten much, much worse. My left shoulder had a giant spot of missing muscle. I feel it more and more difficult to swallow. But I literally just finished a workout where I benched 300lbs for 10 reps. So no loss of strength. MRI of shoulder revealed probable labrum tear which...

    Hey Mike! I looked at your profile and noticed the user "Fasciculation1" wrote you a message. Funny, as I almost messaged this person last week to see how they were doing! But I promised my wife I wouldn't come back to these forums. Limited to 4xx chars here...

    Terrified i have ALS

    I had my NCS and EMG today. The doctor performing the test is a neurologist here at KU med in Kansas City, Mo. He's the director of their Center of Excellence for ALS, associate director of neurology, and teaches fellows how to perform an EMG. He said there's no evidence of ALS. My NCS was...
