Art Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Yes I am and he has done various nerve tests but has no diagnosies for why my arm is weaker and twitches and my leg feels numb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marti Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 Hey Art It took 2 years and 4 nerve and muscle conduction test....lots of blood work and MRIs...and muscle biopsy. Did your Doctor mention ALS? It is a hard disease to determine so maybe your doctor is looking for something else then ALS before he give you a diagnosis. Are you seeing VA doctors?

Art Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Marti I have been seeing private Neuro. Dr. I have not been seeing anyone at VA. Lots of vets here do not like the VA. some VA,s have a good reputation not the one near me. My DR. has said he does not think I have ALS but could be Parkinson but his offical diagnosies is unknown cause. He has a couple of times said it may not even be Parkinson disease. I do not think he knows really. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
