    HELP understanding PFT results PLEASE!

    As most of you know, my Husband was diagnosed 13 July with Bulbar Onset.

I find myself not sleeping...

    Are these symptoms related to ALS?

    My apologies for a long winded note. My husband has been dealing with "something" but both the neurologist and family GP dont know. EMG was ok, but only 2 limbs were tested. At night my husband has twitches in his arms and shoulders. He has restless leg syndrome, so I cant' really tell if his...

    Question about Lungs and ALS?

    If you are diagnosed with ALS, how long would you notice a change in your breathing? Would you notice that you are short of breath early on, or does it take time for this problem to develop? I have been finally getting over my ALS fear... first with my arm weakness (not apparent any more) then...

    Would this be considered bulbar?

    Hi again, I'm anxiously waiting for my upcoming appointment with the ALS specialist in a few days. In the meantime, I wanted to ask the forum about a couple of symptoms that I've been experiencing and whether or not they are bulbar related or not. As some of you already know, I'm currently...

    Breathing Difficulty / Shortness of Breath

    I was diagnosed with PLS about 2 years ago, first symptoms 12/04. In scanning all of the threads on this site I do not see any mention of breathing difficulty / shortness of breath. I am finding this to be a constantly progressive issue. Has anyone else experienced these symptoms? Rayboo

    I apologize but still need support

    I apologize for causing any holes in my story. The last 7 weeks have obviously been the worst in my life and my symptoms were atypical according to my nueromuscular specialist (that's why the first 3 neuro's dismissed ALS and the 1st neuro said my EMG was clean). Since I'm only 26, ALS...

    It's ALS....

    Hi forum, After 7 weeks of progressive symptoms and four neurologists and two internists attributing my symptoms to a bulging disc/pinch nerve, I was told by my neuromuscular specialist (he also originally thought I had a pinch nerve), that I have ALS. The EMG detected abnormalities in my...

    I just need some support right now....

    Hi, I feel very alone right now and have been for the past month. Right now, my new neuro has said that I have "clinically possible ALS" based on the fact that I had abnormal findings in my tricep and forearm of my left arm (I've also noticed atrophy of my left hand but the EMG showed normal...

    I had Abnormal EMG today....question

    So, I finally got my 2nd EMG today and it showed abnormality in my forearm and triceps (bicep and hand was fine) in my left arm. My first EMG, which was conducted three weeks ago was perfectly normal (shows how subjective this whole thing is). Well anyways, the neuro said that he is leaning...
