Diagnosis
01/2022
Country
UK
I have had constant muscle twitching especially in my calves since October.
Over the coming months I’ve had cramps, fatigue, kind of arthritis in thumb and for finger,right leg lifts up when standing, unbalanced
Now I have heavy legs, get out of breath easily , a kind of pulsing in my body that has now stopped me from sleeping 3 days without any sleep , phlegm at the back of my throat, nervousness in my stomach, I get startled easily
Have a EMG booked on March 1st
Are emg accurate
 
I moved your thread as I see no indication that you are really diagnosed with an mnd. If you are not please change your forum interest and diagnosis date

to answer your question the diagnosis of ALS requires upper motor neuron signs ( seen on exam by a neurologist, do you have those?) and evidence of lower motor neuron disease seen on emg as widespread acute and chronic denervation. An emg by a properly trained examiner is very accurate
 
Let us know the results, but twitching and pulsing mean nothing at all.
Try reading this carefully.
Yes EMG are accurate.
