Hi everyone,
I would like to ask your opinion on my emg results and symptoms. I started about one year ago with widespread twitching. Then about 6 months later I started having hypernasality and my soft palate deviates to the left when I say ahhh. Then I noticed that I cant smile as well on the right side. Long story short, I had a few emgs during the year, they all came back normal except fasciculation potentials picked up during surface emg only. However, the last emg tested my facial nerves and it shows chronical denervation in 2 muscles. See report attached. Could this be the beginning of als? I already have brain scans and bloodwork, all normal.
Clinically I have trouble with my speech, twitching, hiccups, nasality, cant smile nornally. I am 33 F.
