HELLO
i am a new member . my father have 67 years and from 3 months ago he began with muscle atrophy in left food. after any screening by neurologist (MRI ,CBC, Pb blood level , ESR,T3/T4,LDH,SGOT,SGPT, Na-P-Ca, HTC,.........) all tests is ok except EMG that reveals muscle atrophy in left food and any other hand and food have not any signe in EMG. His neurologist diagnosed "probable ALS " and said that if symtomes become sever take EMG in 2months later . because he take the Levostatin ( drug for controling cholestrol )for 10 years and this drug may mimic ALS symptums do we have a chance the symptom is due to drug? (notice that the CPK is high CPK =360)
