Some of you here may have already heard of this, but i have never seen it before.
"Cramp-fasciculation syndrome" I actually came across a site in which a scientist developed this disease.. some interesting stuff! However from what i can figure out this is a very rare disease so check it out...
Tomorrow we go back to the neuro after receiving the results of the blood tests to rule out myasthenia gravis and B12 deficiency (both were ruled out), so I'm assuming the doctor will be gravitating towards the diagnosis of Bulbar ALS for my mom.
I want to ask some questions, but I'm not...
Hello.
I found this site a few weeks ago when I first started searching the internet for ALS as it looks like my mother has it - very possibly the bulbar form - altho a definite diagnosis has not been made.
I attended her 1st neuro visit with her and my dad two weeks ago. She started showing...
We are waiting to go to the ALS clinic hopefully will know more then. Since this is so hard to DX what else falls in to guess? We have had stroke, MD, myasthenia gravis and now ALS. If it is it is bulbar onset with now only the some speaking and some swallowing problems and it is being slow to...

I found two other women on a PBP forum who...

Hey there everyone,
Saw neuro on Tuesday and I must say firstly she is a very nice person but most importantly she is very good. I can see she is very thorough and is going "cross all the t's and dot all the i's."
