    FALS -- changing symptoms?

    I hate to post here. My focus in this forum has been on getting advice for my mother, who has ALS. But I'd like to know if I should seek yet another opinion and get another EMG for myself. Also, I'd like to know what peoples' experience has been with quick, brief EMGs. My mother has ALS...
