Hello guys and best luck to everyone. I want to share my story and ask for your insight if I should worry for ALS.
I 've been a victim of health anxiety since one loved person was diagnosed with brain cancer on summer 2018.
I though I had different kind of problems and had exams for them, all clear all the time.
Since 3months, I am experiencing widespread fasciculation. Mostly calves and thighs, more to the left leg and pretty much in whole body I had a twitch.
I had and EMG recently and got the results. Doctor said I shouldn't worry for ALS, but asked me for an MRI of spine and nerves around there.
The EMG says that it found +1 Pos.Waves in Gastroc. Medial and it says reduced in some value called Int. Patt in the same muscle and the vests medialis.
I attach image of it also. The nerve conduction study says it was normal.
Should I be worried about it as in the EMG they were tested only in few muscles shown in the picture? Is a +1 a sign of ALS?
I was convinced I triggered BFS with my anxiety, but I am really scared after the EMG.
Thank you in advance guys. I know how hard is to have a disease like this, but I need your opinion.
