    This is absolutely maddening! New EMG results

    https://photos.app.goo.gl/ar2kXxEgUT8chLQ63So, I was ecstatic when the doctor's told me that I don't have ALS but Dr. Harati insists that my fasciculations are benign and he wants to do the wait and see approach. Dr. Killian recommended me that I see Dr. Aziz Shaibani in Houston. Almost 4...

    left leg, right leg, right hand

    Hi all, I would not waste anyone's time on here if I wasn't seriously concerned. I would like to know if any PALS here had such a rapid progression: From late july 2017 until now (oct 2017) I developed a drop foot and subsequent calf/foot atrophy, but my twitching didn't start until the...

    Beating a dead horse or legitimate concern?

    Hello everyone! I realize the "I have twitching! HALP!" questions are Legion on here, and if my symptoms and situation aligned pretty closely with the typical BFS picture I wouldn't post.
