Default Hi!

So one of your opinions is from Mayo/an ALS specialist? I only ask since they generally don't throw out the diagnosis lightly. Without weakness or muscle wasting they are unlikely to say that's even probable. Chronic denervation in a muscle isn't ALS--it needs to be active at the time of EMG. Fasciculations that are widespread without weakness or wasting sounds more like BFS. You may have chronic muscle denervation from peripheral neuropathy, but without weakness even that sounds unlikely. How is your back? Have you had an MRI?

Lumbar MRI March 2013: degenerative changes from L3 to S1. L3 and L4 have tiny annular tears with disc bulge. L5-S1 bilateral pars defects anterolisthesis (spondylosis/spondylithesis?) I have an annular tear here too, along with a conjoined left L5-S1 nerve root. Mild effacement of the thecal sac at the origins of the bilateral S1 nerve roots, left greater than right. Mild bilateral Neural foraminal stenosis.
