Hi,
Thanks for reading my post. I never heard about ALS until my mom has been suspected with a possible ALS. I still don't believe she has ALS. She is 62 years, She has some weakness on her right hand and right leg and twitching. She has seen a neurologist and took an EMG.
EMG conclusion is :
EMG was done in right quadriceps, left quadriceps, right tibialis anterior, first dorsal intereossei, tibialis anterior and right biceps.
Insertional activity was normal. Spontaneous activity in the form of fasciculations.Positive sharp waves and occasional fibirillations were noted in all the muscels tested.
MUAP were moderately high amplitude and showed increase in polyphasia with increase in recruitment ratio.
NCS & EMG study showed evidence of chronic denervation and renervation changes suggestive of anterior horn cell involvement.
Can this be ALS? I know ALS symptoms can mimic other conditions too.She has no progressive symptoms, she is able to do all her daily activities except little stiffness on the right arm and right leg. She is out of the country and coming to US next month to have a second opinion. I cant sleep thinking about her... she is my everything...
