Hello everyone.
First if aller sorry for my english, it's not my first langage...
I'm a 37 y.o. girl. I have a MS suspicion because i have hearing loss at one frequency in my right ear (-50db in high frequency). My mother, brother ans uncle have MS.
But i have a LOT of fasciculations, especially in the legs (calves and thighs). The neuro told me it's not related to MS. This happens when my legs are relaxed, since a few weeks. I did an EMG but the neurologist only tested one leg, which worries me. the nerve conduction is normal, and he noted a slight contracture in the thigh. obviously I had no fasciculation during the exam...
My clinical exam shows hyperreflexia and a light Hoffman sign on the right hand. This is compatible with MS as with ALS.
I'm totally panicked to have a sla rather than a sep. Here are my questions:
- Can fasciculations precede a weakness?
- Can EMG be negative at an early stage?
- can hearing loss be linked to ALS?
Thank you in advance, sorry but I'm in a panic.
