    Update on Neurologist's Appointment As Requested [He won't Order an EMG; I have some Clonus]

He said he didn't want me to get stressed out over some incidental findings which might be unrelated to any serious pathology... He told me about a time when...

    Please do not be too quick to say NO to possible ALS diagnosis

    About 3-4 years ago I came to this forum and asked the dreaded question "Do I have ALS". I had some fasciculations and cramping in my feet, balance issues, spasticity in both legs and slight speech changes. I was assured by members that my symptoms were NOT symptoms of ALS and I went merrily...
