Greetings to all! I am a first time poster and I want to thank you all in advance for your patience with me, my poor speeling and for any knowledge/support you offer!
I have not been officially dianoised with ALS! I am concerned though that it is just a matter of time. I have been to the rhumatologist, hematoloigist, neck and spine clinic, laryngologist and the nuerologist. Last EMG results as follows:
EMG evidence of bilateral, chronic L5 and S1 radiculopathies. The absence of any fibrillation argues against the diagnosis of motor neuron disease.
I have atrophy and weakness in shouldrs, neck, arms and legs. Nuerosugen has ruled out neck/spine as being responsible, hematologist ran all auto immune tests(I think) and found nothing. Laryngologist found atrophy on vocal coards.
Doe it sound like ALS jut waiting for someone to say it is? Nothin has failed yet but I feel like that is where it is heading. Nuero doc tells me I can go back to the gym and work out but my arms burn and ache just caring in groceries.
Thank you for your thoughts and God Bless!
