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

I am happy for you, it is a blessing if this could be ruled out....but I have an abnormal EMG with clinical weakness and am scared. Did they tell you that pain rules out ALS/MND (did/do you have pain)? That is what my neuro said to rule it out for me and that is the only string of hope I have right now...my weakness has not improved (yet) since healing takes a long time....so I am in a phase of waiting, will it improve or progress?

I also had a clean SEP and MEP.
