Hi everyone, I've posted here before, and so far have received a unanimous "no ALS" from everyone that's commented - a good sign I believe
Anyway, I recently underwent a thorough neurological exam from my GP, testing balance, reflexes, babinski, etc. and there were no abnormalities at all. No positive babinski sign, good balance and responsive (but not brisk) reflexes. She said that we can basically rule out ALS as a possibility because of this.
So, am I right in thinking that if ALS or some form of MND were the problem, that SOMETHING would have cropped up during the examination? I feel that having good reflexes and no babinski is pretty much a definite no ALS for me. Am I right in this assumption?
Thanks for reading, any feedback would be appreciated
