Hi, I'm new to the forum, and not officially diagnosed, yet. The neurologist can't tell me I don't have ALS, and says we're on a wait and see basis, now.
I've had 3 MRI's (brain, cervical and thoracic spine), EMG/NVC, and lots of blood tests to rule all the other things out. On the EMG, he said, the nerves appear to be fine, but, my muscles are very spastic.....I have the rumbling twitches all the time.
The cervical spine MRI did show some stenosis and myelopathy, but, not enough, he said to cause my symptoms. So, now, I have to see him every 2 weeks and go through periodic EMG's.
Has anyone else been diagnosed with Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy and then ALS?
Thanks and hope to hear back from you all soon!
