Hi!
I’ve recently gotten a 2nd emg; the neurologist said nothing has changed and that the nerve conduction velocities were within range.
He did say he saw twitching in my left hand but that it was only minor and could be because of many things (I do squeeze my left thumb in my hand a lot and am always nervous/ocd with it).
Still, my limb weakness has gotten worse, and my body does twitch a little everyday.
My questions is if it’s been 8 months since I noticed these symptoms, is that enough time for an emg to clearly show als?
