    Emg

    My previous threads are old and have been locked so that is why I’m opening a new thread. A couple months ago I did get an emg and based on the results my neurologist came to the conclusion I have cramp fasiculation syndrome. The reason why I was given that diagnosis was because to him I didn’t...

    Weight gain

    Hello beautiful souls, Since symptoms began, my father has been steadily gaining weight, especially over the last few months as spasticity worsened.

    Mood changes

    Hi all, This is sort of an update post (last post was in the Newly Diagnosed) but I wanted to move my thread to a maybe more appropriate category. My husband has gotten a second opinion from the chief neurologist at the University of Münster in Germany, where he is from. He was also able to...

    Physical Therapy

    Second EMG

    My father has been suffering from upper motor neuron signs over the past three years, with no apparent lower involvement (clean EMG and still no fasciculations), which led doctors to think of PLS.
