Hello,
I would like to provide you an update regarding my current situation:
Due to the fact that my symptoms have worsened (now I have a widespread very frequent fascics plus other worrying symptoms) on the last weeks, my neuro and my rheumatologist decided to perform additional tests (I have had weird symptoms for the last 7 months).
My worries are because I have received the following results:
- Glutamic Acid > 400 mU/l (* 4 times the up limit range)
- Hyperparathiroid hormone slightly elevated
- Rheumatoid factor very elevated (>80, is considered positive over 30)
- abnormal EMG got for first time: Several fasciculations have been identified on my legs (On left and righ tibialis muscle). Not other signals (fibrillations, etc) were found.
My questions are the following ones (It would be very appreciated any PALSto provide your opinions/experiences):
- Any of you got a similar results (mainly being focused on the EMG) just before being diagnosed?
- Do you thing that the fact that no denervation was found on the EMG (7 months after symptoms began) is still hopeful?
- Any of you got first an EMG only with fasciculations and get after another one finding fibs,etc.?
Thank you in advance for your responses. Today I´ve had a very bad day, please, any comment/suggestion/etc. would be extremely welcome.
Regards to every one.
P.D: My neuro exam still is normal (normal reflexes and still no clinical weakness).
