Why is it so inconsistent? Why when some people walk into a Neuro's office does he know right then and there it is most likely ALS? Why when a neuro performs an EMG on most patients can he tell right there its ALS? BUT then you hear other stories like: Lorie's brother went 7 years? Is is just the quality of the doctor you see?
My neuro, and I have one of the best in the country, tells me to absolutely get ALS out of my head. He states my EMG is totally clean for ALS. BUT, why do i have atrophy in my arms/shoulders? Why do I twitch? Why do my shoulders pop and crack everytime i move them? I know for a fact my arms have gotten smaller. The answer I receive from my docs, I dont see the atrophy and twitching is benign. I truely have nowhere else to go. I do have a biopsy coming up but its to see if I have a myopathy. Not even considering ALS.
