First let me say this site and the folks who help are amazing. I hope I have that much empathy in charity in me.
Question. I have had two conflicting ncs / emg’s - both ncs showed sensormotor poly neuropathy of axonal type. But here is the carrot. First emg showed increased insertion activity and Crd in paraspinal region. However all other areas clean.
First neurologist refers me to another. He looks at the emg and tosses it. Says he doesn’t trust anyone’s emg unless he does it. So he performs another emg and ncs. Nerve conduction shows same sensormotor polyneuropathy of axonal type in lower Extremities and motor neuropathy of upper extremities but needle test is clean. But he says I need to keep testing for als every 4 to 6 months.
So I’m confused. This flys against what I have read on this site. Has anyone heard of this before.
Can axonal polyneuropathy mimic als in constant twitches, slow movements and such. I thought sensory ruled out als but why do they keep testing me for MND.
I’m so tired of twitching and doctor appointments. Ive tried to read old posts but can’t find any clarification. Thanks all.
