Very Scared
Goodnight everyone:
I have been with generalized fasciculations for three years, the first two emgs were clean (2017 and 2018), one I did it four months after the fasciculations began and another after eight months and both were normal, the last emg I did it in November last year and they explored many muscles (16 muscles on the left and 16 on the right), in the abductor hallucis that had not been explored before, a chronic neurogenic pattern with fasciculation and slight loss of motor unit unrelated to protrusion or hernia appeared. In the rest of the muscles all good.
Since I still have the same symptoms, I have
I have talked to the neurophysiologist and he has told me that sometimes the ela starts focally in a muscle and that in the EMG you can see a chronic neurogenic pattern with fasciculation before the weakness appears and that fibrillations or positive waves may not be seen but only that find is seen.
I have been very scared, especially because I am looking for pregnancy and I have stopped my plans because according to the words of the neurophysiologist I understand that it could be a beginning of it.
I would like to know if in a year after a dirty emg there should already be weakness or can it take years to appear?
I am afraid of repeating the emg, I do not know if without weakness they could diagnose me if there were more injuries or for the diagnosis we have to wait for weakness? I want to get pregnant but with what the neurophysiologist has told me, I am afraid to take the step and that I am developing a ela
