Hi Connie
Have been doing some more looking around on the internet and I found a forum, think it was called ALSforums.com, sorry my memory is shot and I should have written it down.
From what I was reading on various sites though, ALS/MND is extremely hard to diagnose, given that so many of its symptoms overlap with other diseases, especially MG. It is diagnosed through clinical presentation of symptoms (neurological exam), brain scans and SFEMG and EMG. A lot of the websites said the diagnosis should be given only when all other diseases / conditions have been ruled out. There isn't a blood test for it.
Im sorry I can't help you anymore than that. I hope one of the other Boffins can!
Love
Rach
