My neurologist sent me to another doctor who is planning to do a muscle biopsy in my leg. Just what will this tell the doctors? I have Bulbar onset ALS, but even before those symptoms started, I was having problems with falling. Since then my leg muscles are definitely weaker. Is the test a way of ruling out all other diseases? Will it tell them how far the disease has progressed? Will they need to repeat it at intervals? When I read about some people who have lived for many years with the disease, I wonder if there is any way to predict the progress.
