    Dirty EMG

    Greetings: It is hard to say where I should start; I guess from the begenning. I have been having strange little 'issues' for several years. It seems like they have been coming and going. I generally do not have time for a doctor visit so I have been letting them go, thinking "That's what...

    Dirty EMG? Standing Clonus? Definite Anxiety lol.

    Breathe. Ok in 2010 I reported to my doctor that my left foot twitched a lot but would stop once I'd start moving. I reported sporadic twitching throughout my body as well but not nearly as much as in the foot. I was worried about als then but for some reason I relaxed and the fear went...

    Hi Everyone, I would like to introduce myself. My husband has been diagnosed with MND. I have been lurking on this site since January of this year because ever since the first dirty EMG back in August of 2012, I have been wondering if this would turn out to be ALS. Because he is so slowly...
