    Progression over a year

    I have a closed thread about atrophy in my gastrocnemius. Here is my story until now. May of 2017, tore gastroc. At PT they thought it seemed neurologic and their hypothesis was that the tear was secondary to existing atrophy that I had not noticed. My toe taps on the affected leg were...

    High lactic acid

    Does anyone here know if there's a connection with high lactic acid and MND? My doctor is doing another EMG and at that point selecting a muscle to biopsy.

    Just some questions

    Hi everybody I was diagnosed with motor neuron disease about ten years ago, and since, I’ve been told I don’t have motor neuron disease, and I’ve also been told that I may have a neuropathy, or some form of limb girdle muscular dystrophy. I’ll try to make this pithy, but it’s a long story, if...

    Denervation and reinnervation after 11 years

    Hello all, I started twitching almost 11 years ago, in November 2006. Since then, I've had problems with exercise intolerance and exertional weakness-- my muscles will shake or become weak after carrying items or shoveling snow, but I can still walk, talk, button my shirts and live my day to...
