    Common path? Dirty EMG, clean MRI, ALS clinic referral?

    I realize the answer is wait and see the dx, just wondering if I’m on a common path to a diagnosis that others have experienced? I have extreme left arm weakness (can’t lift), and increasing weakness in other limbs + fasciculations + fatigue. EMG by neuro found “active and chronic denervation”...

    Emg questions part 2

    Hello, I would've reffered to my last post but due to time it was closed so I'm back reporting my results from April 2018 from Houston Methodist.

    One Year Ago Today

    Brian was diagnosed with ALS. We had known for since 6/15/2016, when suddenly one day his left hand could no longer do what his right hand could. Added to the foot drop, the dirty EMG, the clean MRI and blood work I knew for sure there was no other explanation. He still held out a little hope...

    EMG changes before weakness? How long?

    Hello, I know that doctors say if you have fasciculations, about 6 - 8 months no additional symptoms excludes als. But then, I am reading people who state they had dirty emg's and it took years (!) to perceive weakness in that region. It doesn't make sense. I thought denervation/fibrillation...
