No one on here believes I have ALS. And I thank you for your opinions. My GP and Neuro also say I don't have it as well. I have doubt...just for the pure simple fact that I didn't have the EMG yet.

That is where all of my doubt is coming from. Plus, I am constantly examining my right hand, which feels weak...and see possible signs of atrophy.

My understanding is that atrophy occurs after muscle weakness, and twitching. Sort of at the end stage. The atrophy occurs mostly from muscle disuse.

Is that correct?
