Hello everyone.
I’ve been debating about posting here and I hope to not impose myself on this forum.
I’m currently going through the diagnostic process for worsening weakness and neuropathy. Weakness is occurring in my right foot. It started in March and has now become bilateral this month. I’m also experiencing cramping, fatigue, loss of fine motor skills in hands, and twitching.
I would prefer to discuss my emg results with a physician but I have hit a road block. I was originally referred to a neurologist by my pcp. The office is the highest ranked neurology program in my county. Based on my symptoms they performed an emg, and from my results have referred me to a university neurologist. However, they will not discuss my emg results with me and the university neurology clinic is a black hole where they will only take referral cases and not talk to the patients themselves, only the referring neurologists! I cannot talk to anyone at this point about the possibility of als and I’m just at a loss. I’ve attached my results. Is this consistent with als? Does anyone have any guidance?
thank you for taking the time to read my post.
