Previous thread here. Good evening. Just got my second Emg. This one was done at a ALS specialist hospital accredited by the ALS Association. The Dr was extremely thorough and explained everything he did. It took about 2hours and he checked every where except my eyes! Conclusion was Mildly...

Hello everyone. I’m a 30 year old female and would love to get some feedback from people with more knowledge of these things than myself. So this all began at the beginning December. I noticed my hands would go limp for a second and then be fine. I googled and googled and figured maybe it was...

Two years I started experiencing random muscle twitches. I visited a Neurologist and after his examination he recommended an EMG to rule out anything serious (like ALS). They did a Nerve Conduction Study and EMG and everything was completely normal. Fast forward to this year and the twitching...

2 prior EMGs (Nov & Dec) with neurologist #1 noted chronic denervation, resulting in a "Possible ALS" diagnosis. First EMG (Aug) did not show any issues. Dr #1 was clear that lack of muscle weakness/atrophy after 9 mos of continuous fasciculations and cramping was encouraging. Next EMG in 3...

I just have a couple questions. I realize this is not an anxiety board nor are you all doctors. I have been doing a lot of research online after I had an emg of my left arm. I looked up some things that were on my results and something that kept coming up was ALS. I knew what ALS was before...

Hi All, First I wanted to say thank you to all of the folks who take the time to read these posts and share their opinions. I've been reading on these forums for a little while now and figured it was finally time to share my concerns... Before I go into detail about my story, I'll quickly...

Happy to say no weakness other than rubbery legs but I’ve read that some ALS presents as sudden widespread fasics. Needless to say this is freaking me out. I’ve also read that ALS fascics are very frequent. Mine are nonstop and occur every few seconds. Every day is a new symptom. I have...

I would like to ask one thing about EMG. I had my EMG (clean) but still I have some concerns, since i've been reading scientific studies on the Internet which made me a little worried. (Symptoms lasting from september) I don't understand how a little group of muscles can be in fact useful for...
