Hello, I know that doctors say if you have fasciculations, about 6 - 8 months no additional symptoms excludes als. But then, I am reading people who state they had dirty emg's and it took years (!) to perceive weakness in that region. It doesn't make sense. I thought denervation/fibrillation...

On Jan/25/2017 the Neurologist did another EMG to compare to the one done on 7/20/2016, here is the report, so let me know what you all think. This test is just for left side of body, right side never done. Summary: Nerve conduction studies of the left arm and leg demonstrate mildly slow...

Note: I do not remember having any injuries and I have a clean MRI (head and spine). The only thing I have diagnosed on me is GAD-Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Symptoms began 5 months ago with widespread twitching. Then in July I had some trouble swallowing that seemed to wax and wane. I...

Hello all, I have read both the stickies and they were immensely supportive. My symptoms match those which both stickies suggest are not indicative of ALS. I would say what first brought me to ALS fear was a twitch in my shoulder just over a year a go now. I entered the dreaded Dr Google and...

Fascs started in late Nov 2015. Had 4 EMGs by start of month 5, all were normal (apart from fascs). Fascs continued, and at month 8 I went for the first time to the Sydney Brain and Mind Centre, probably Australias leading research centre in the field. There I had an ultrasound (normal nerves...
