I’ve had body wide twitching for 6 months. Went to neurologist after three months and got a clean EMG on right arm and leg. Have been in a total of five times for clinical exams (due to my anxiety of ALS - requested appointments with him) - all of which have come back non remarkable. He told me...

My father has been suffering from upper motor neuron signs over the past three years, with no apparent lower involvement (clean EMG and still no fasciculations), which led doctors to think of PLS. In a second EMG, the results are indicative of "mononeuritis multiplex or motor radiculopathy", but...
Hi. I am 37 to make who has developed a lot of twitching and muscle pain in the past few months. I herniated a disc in my lower back last December, so I have had lots of sciatic pain/leg and foot numbness and tingling from that.
I developed severe anxiety and started having panic attacks this...
Hello, I am very nervous about my symptoms lining up with ALS. I'm hoping talking with pAls and others here will calm my mind. I'm running my mind ragged with these thoughts and constant searches online.

Doctors have confirmed weakness in my right hand. I can no longer extend my middle and ring finger when holding my hand straight up :(. This was a shock to me as they told me my first emg was completely normal. Please wish me luck for my emg tomorrow. I am so scared right now. I thought clean...

Hello everyone 38 years old 75kg with no family history.
I'll try to make my story short.

In the months since, the calf twitching has decreased but I have developed...
