Dr. Google, as so often happens, is incorrect. It is categorically untrue that "a lot of people" have normal exams + normal EMGs but are later diagnosed, after first wandering in based on "feelings" only.
 
Regardless of what you can read by googling we stick to what is in the read me first sticky. We can't argue it back and forth either, that is our official position. You really don't present with ALS symptoms.
 
Once more

Thousands of Americans have falsely convinced themselves they have a
serious disease, after turning to 'Dr Google' – according to new research.
Instead of alleviating concerns, 74 percent of those who have self-diagnosed
online searching for their symptoms made them worry MORE about their health.

That is due to the answers given by Dr Google, of internet medical advice,
was found by researchers to be misleading without proper evaluation by a
a qualified physician. Key word... misleading.

Sixty-five percent of respondents who used the internet to self-diagnose
themselves the results show typing your symptoms into the search bar might
do more harm than good.

Hope that will help wrap this Thread up.
