I do not know if anyone can help, I understand that ALS is a "rule out" diease, however are there indicators in the blood work and EMG? I have sever muscle weekness in one arm, can lift very little, and fasciculations. The doctor states that I have a pinched nerve or ALS he cant be sure. Blood is normal at this time. Emg shows some abnormalities, but he did not go into. My question is with such weekness, would there be some type of indicator of ALS in blood, or what do they look for. Also would the emg show something other then minor changes, or can this be just the early stages, and it will show as thd diease progresses. Any information would help.
Thanks
