thanks to you all
Thanks for all the kind words and hopes I appreciate it very much. We'll wait for the MRI and than go from there.
If I really have this it was a fluke that it was found as the intial problem (thumb weakness) has been gone for 1/2 a year now and I truly feel pretty good, if it wasn't for an abnormal emg they'd have no basis for their argument.Well if my brother is my yard stick I've got a long way to go.
I also thought the MRI was used to rule out other causes, the shrunken/weathered spinal cord my brother says was seen in his MRI isn't a sign of ALS as I understand but would be an indication of something else.
Basically what I'm saying is when ALS symptoms are present an MRI is used to rule out other causes, if the spinal cord looks normal than possible ALS, a shrunken cord would be indicitive of something else.
Anyways, again thanks to you all and I'll wish on a star for you tonite.
