Hello
i need advice.
3 months ago I woke up at night with cramps like charley horses in my left thigh. the following days I started to have a feeling of weakness in the thigh which gradually descended in my calf. When I stand for a long time my calf contracts. The fasciculations only first appeared in my thighs and calf for two weeks but now the fasciculations are all over my body. I had a lumbar MRI which showed nothing in order to find a reason for this weakness. my neuro tells me that my strengths are equal on each side of the body and I have normal brist reflexes on each side. she gave me an emg very quickly in my left leg and the only thing indicated is: no denervation in the 5 muscles observed. i only worry about having fasciculations since i feel this weakness in my leg. I also feel like my right arm is also losing strength. Am I right in thinking that this looks like a start to als?
