Tony,
Please calm down and try to put things into perspective...
You passed a test on reflexes with flying colors performed by a qualified physician,you have no "profound " weakness, you are completely functional and can even lift weights...What do you honestly think your chances for having ALS are?
Sure there is a "chance " I could get struck by lightening today...but I'm not going to spend my day worry about it..as the odds are strongly in my favor that I will not...And even if I do get struck by lightening what good would worrying about it do ?
Do you really think any of us here are qualified to second guess your docs...and diagnos you over the internet?
I hope the EMG will give you closure ..all I can advise in the mean time is for you to remember the reason the doc ordered the EMG in the first place ....to give you piece of mind.. Lisa
