    Peak cough flow variation in ALS

    Hi guys, I posted a few times already here about my mother who has a possible diagnosis of ALS, but seronegative Myasthenia Gravis is also still being considered, but it cannot explain the hyperreflexia of her legs. So they think ALS and MG or maybe cervical radiculopathy. She has atypical...

    Reversible breathing issues with IVIG in ALS and MG

    Dear PALS, I've had an earlier thread regarding my mother, who's diagnosis is still uncertain. Both Laurie and Karen were very helpful. A short intro: My mother is a very complex case and has shortness of breath, orthopnea, loss of strength in upper arms and some atrophy of the deltoid...

    Reversing Atrophy?

    Hi ... I have no idea what I'm talking about on anything medical, but I found the following article on the Wiley InterScience website, quoting an article from the journal "Muscle & Nerve," Vol 36, Issue 3, pp 304-399, 12 Feb 2007. I know that my neuros are right and I have ALS, but because of...

    Not ALS- rather some form of MNN or MND?

    Hi everyone- so I have some questions. My father was diagnosed in June with possible ALS (lower onset), but the neuro agreed with monitoring his progression that it would be useful to obtain a second higher opinion. So off we went to London, Ontario, and the chief researcher for ALS in Canada...

    Got a DX

    I saw my Neurologist on Thursday, and I had NVC and EMG tests, the last time he did those tests was 4 months ago. They came out normal (which really surprised me), but my blood work came back with a high reading of GAD-56 AutoAntibody. The normal range is 0.0-1.5 U/mL, but mine was 10.3U/mL. The...
