For me, ALS was ruled out due to clean EMG, lack of significant clinical weakness, and lack of progression over a period of several months. MS was ruled out due to clean brain and neck MRI's and normal results on somatosensory evoked potentials testing. It was certainly a relief to find out that I did not have have these very serious diseases.

Now, if only I could get a definitive diagnosis of what is wrong with me.......
