Thank you, no “clinical” weakness, but at the gym, for ex., I lost a ton of strength. Idk if it’s bc I’m like scared to workout now. I just don’t know what to do anymore; 2 emgs seem like pretty definitive. My left arm and leg feel weak, but my second emg had higher nerve conductions with my...

Hi! I’ve recently gotten a 2nd emg; the neurologist said nothing has changed and that the nerve conduction velocities were within range. He did say he saw twitching in my left hand but that it was only minor and could be because of many things (I do squeeze my left thumb in my hand a lot and am...

I'm so sorry; I did not know that. Nikki, thank you again for responding to me. I greatly appreciate all of the moderator responses as well. I'm very frightened about my symptoms because everyone says weakness plus twitching are hallmark signs of als, and I have both plus abnormal reflexes. If...

Thank you, my wife, an MD, said it sounded like it could be a virus that started with balance issues and could have caused residual weakness. What scares me are all the other symptoms: muscle weakness, abnormal reflexes, twitching, etc. But a lot of the moderators, I think you may have said...

Shiftkicker, thank you so much, and I am so sorry if I inadvertently asked unrelated questions to ALS. I've read past posts before signing up that dealt with possible early emgs. I'm just very much concerned with mine and how even though I have muscle weakness, twitching and symmetric...

I thought NCS are specifically used to help diagnose ALS; what makes you think it is normal, and is it on the low side of normal? Also, what do you think about all my symptoms and that I had them before the EMG? Thank you so much again for your responses; I greatly appreciate it.

I'm sorry about posting to the wrong area; can you tell me bit more about your opinion regarding my nct? And thank you so much for responding, Nikki. Shouldn't other abnormalities show up beside potentially low conduction velocity? I am just not sure what to do because my legs are so weak...

Hi, I've bee having weakness in both of my quads and left arm, and it started with balance issues 3 months back (I can't lift the same weight at the gym, and it's hard to walk). Also, I have hyporeflexia in my arms and hyperreflexia in my knees, but they are symmetric. I've seen a als...
