Thanks jenng for your input. Yes, I met with an ALS specialist at Mayo that diagnosed with me POSSIBLE ALS. Diagnosis was based on the muscle twitching and asymetrical reflexes (brisker on left side). They also stated the results of my EMG were not consistant with ALS, but future EMG's might assist with a more solid diagnosis.
I am curious as to why they did not mention BFS as a possibilty. University of Chicago hospital stated that due to the chronic nuerogenic changes noted in EMG it is a concern for ALS. However, Mayo did not observe these findings in their EMG. How accurate are these EMG's? I've had two MRI's of head and neck with and without contrast- no abnormalities. The asymetrical reflexes are a concern for me because this symptom is consistant with ALS. Thanks
