I go tomorrow for my neuro appt and something I've been wondering about. I just don't see how my symptoms could be anything but als.
I've had MRI (noted chiari but I don't have headaches, soooo)
Bloodwork for everything that could mimic ALS
Ct scan
24 hour urine
Endoscopy
Colonoscopy
Throat scope
So my question is, what else could it be? Are there any differential diagnoses even though I have the classic ALS symptoms? I've seen mitochondrial disease mentioned but doesnt that have to start from some illness or be familial?
I'm one to be armed with knowledge so I want to go tomorrow with some familiarity of terms.
Thank you
