So no one ever asked me if I had any family members with dementia. ALS, yes, but dementia no. ALS Clinic was yesterday. I had run across an article about frontotemporal dementia and ALS. I asked if there was a link. The neuro was concerned. My grandmother died from FTD a few years ago...
So, next week is my first appointment in the ALS Clinic.
Any idea what to expect/see?
I don't think this is headed anywhere good. My last EMG came back with no denervation but I definitely have a muscle in my right calf that is flaccid. It is 1.5" smaller than the left side.

Welcome,
I've been on the forum here some time ago asking about my case. Until now I'm pretty much confident I have Benign Fasciculation Syndrome, Idiopathic Fasciculations, you name it. (I never self-diagnosed ALS though, it was a concern of my neurologist, as I had spontaneous activity...
