Hello all,
I began posting a few months ago after getting constant fasciculations in my legs. I was living in Asia at the time, and recently moved back to the US. I had started to relax about my symptoms since they had subsided somewhat (I still have fasciculations in my calves, bottom of feet, and other parts of the body, but they don't seem to be quite as constant/strong as they used to be), and my EMG had come back clean.
Since I moved back to the US, I went to a doctor to get a new prescription for my hypertension medication, and he did a thorough check-up. When I told him about my symptoms, he decided to schedule another EMG, this time not just with the needles, but also with the electrical conduction thing they do.
The results were that I have neuropathy. I had pretty much gotten over my worries, and now they're back in full force, especially since I've been having trouble with my left leg the past couple of weeks. I had just chalked it up to uncomfortable shoes, but now...
Am I worrying over nothing? Is neuropathy a symptom of ALS? I've read conflicting information.
