Neuro thinks ALS, I want to believe it is Myasthenia Gravis
Could really use your insight and direction... Knowing the ravages of ALS, I would much rather be diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis any day (even though that DX is terrible but it is at least somewhat manageable compared to ALS). I had to go into the ER today with difficulty breathing and...- Guest

Fibromyalgia or ALS?
trfogey has given you very good answers. He HAS ALS--he knows what he's talking about. Please--for your sake--stay with your GP and let them figure out what is going on. ALS just wouldn't take years. Just because you 'read' it doesn't make it so. People can come and post anything on the...- Guest

Fibromyalgia versus ALS
In response to a post: Your newest batch of symptoms sound more like fibromyalgia than anything else. ALS isn't going to cause pain in early stages. LOSS OF USE is what usually sends those with ALS to the doctor. They suddenly can't do something--for me, it was I couldn't push the buttons to...- Guest

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and diagnosis
Your white blood count points to some issue. You need to have a complete work-up. White count usually means some type of infection. It's even possible you've got some infection causing your muscle issues, actually. Most doctors don't do a complete work-up, the simply do the basics such as...- Guest

What a nightmare you're going through. It's more than obvious that something major is going on. Are you eating and still losing weight or are you not eating?

Re: A few major concerns
Re: A few major concerns Does anyone here know, from their journey to diagnosis--if atrophy is possible with MS? I keep thinking that if I had ALS, I'd be worse than I am after a year of atrophy in my hands. Is that a valid assumption? I know the neurosurgeon was concerned--but do EMG/NCVs...- Guest
