just a question I was wondering if anyone could answer and I will ask my doctor this the next time I see him.
Does an Emg differentiate between ALS nerve deterioration and muscle loss from lack of eating and not working out? I have been sick for about a month and a half and during the time I have had no appetite. This has caused me to lose about 20 lbs and I haven't been working out. I have had constant twitching in my calves and forearms, which has come on strong in the past week.
Any answers would be helpful and as I said I will make sure to ask my doctor this next week.
