to uk or not
Bravo,
in my limited experience with Emg's and neuros, interpreting EMG's is more of an artform than any true diagnostic unless one is so debilitated, there is no other alternative but ALS...by then, you would know, the guy down the street would know, your mother would know....
1. physical symptoms are such that there is no question but that it is ALS
2. exclusion of any other known, rare or common CNS diseases
the problem with this is that it may take YEARS before a diagnosis is made as first tier and second tier diseases are proved or disproved and in the meantime you are suffering and asking yourself if they did find a reason is there a treatment that could put me right again...my advise is that you should probably head back to the UK to a motor neuron clinic and get some free health care and advice from a motor neuron specialist...
