Hi All, This past Friday, my father was diagnosed with “some form” of ALS by a neuromuscular specialist. He is being sent to an ALS center near him in Potomac, MD, and will get more details on form, prognosis, etc. At this point we know very little, but what we do know - the diagnosis - is...

Hello everyone, I just want to start off by saying that I know only a doctor can diagnose me with anything. I have also read the stickies and have a few questions about hypoflexia. I realize no one can diagnosis me with anything but a doctor. Like, what is it exactly and how is it diagnosed? And...

I had hoped that I would be able to report back with some kind of diagnosis, but unfortunately I still do not have one. Timeline since my last post: -went to a podiatrist. Has a foot MRI which showed all sorts of things such as tendinopathy, mucoid degeneration, joint effusions, tenosynovitis...

Could someone share thoughts? Nerve conduction normal. Occasional fascic. present in right FDI, right gastrocnemius and right personal muscles. Increased insertional activity with fibrillation potentials and positive waves in the tibialus anterior muscle. Motor units in the Right EIP, FDI...

I had an EMG test done in 2016 when I developed foot drop and was tripping and occasionally falling. The neurologist didn’t have any concern at that time. He said I had some arthritis. I saw a neurosurgeon and decided to do surgery for foot drop on my L5 section, discectomy she called it...

Hi everyone, I have been having fasciculations throughout my body (mostly in my calves and hands) since Jan 2016. I did a EMG in 2016 and the doctor said it was benign fasciculation syndrome. Now to 2018, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease (gluten) and have been experiencing more...

Hello, I'm a 43 year old male that started twitching in 1999. I saw a couple of Neuros back then and had an EMG that was clean. Diagnosis was simply benign fasiculations. Fast forward to late 2013, my voice started to have this weird vibration/rattle at the end of a sentence that occurred...

Hi everyone, me again. My first thread was closed in the beginning of this year and I have really tried to let this go since many of you reassured me it didnt sound like ALS. As you know I had a quite big investigation done in 2017 with a bunch of bloodwork, MRI of brain and back, and one EMG...

Hi! I have been a lurker here for awhile now and decided it is time for me to post. Please do not be afraid to tell me I am crazy or that I don't have a reason being here, but I wanted to address my worries. I know you all are battling, know or have lost someone with this terrible disease, and...

Hello, I have a question about my condition - I have quite a lot of fasciculations (thighs, calves, shoulders, hands, face, chest, back, little "feelable jolts" time to time on tongue, sometimes even inside of my ear - drum and sometimes I can see flickering in my eyes similar that I see...
