Hi,
I was on here in July after experiencing twitching and stiffness in my muscles, left arm and left leg... at that time, EMG was done - Normal. Symptoms persisted and on top of my left arm/leg stiffness/twitching, I have now developed swallowing and chewing problems and a nasal sound speech over the past two months. I also have some weakness in my left arm. EMG was repeated - mildly abnormal - mild polyphasia only with reinnervation my left deltoid and left tensor fasia latae... Next came the evoked potential test ..... (I have bladder incontinence and some muscle burning/pain/tingling, including burning in my tongue - and because i have a pacemaker implant, they didnt want to rush me into surgery to check for MS - they did a spinal tap in july - normal)..... evoked potential testing on my eyes was normal .... sensory evoked potential on my arms, normal .... sensory potential on my legs, both abnormal ..... now my neuro wants an MRI, but i am pretty certain what this is turining into based off of my symptoms and these early findings...... (?) I also now have some atrophy on the left side of my face and tongue..
Does anyone know if motorn neuron disease can cause Sensory evoked potential abnormalities (SSEP) ?
