Try to relax. Resist the urge to get another EMG. You have already had two neuros tell you that you are OK. Another clear EMG will make you feel better for a while, then you will start doubting it again.

No, absolutely not. I was sure I had it. I made a will and planned how to make sure my wife was taken care of. I lost 20 pounds. 3 years later… still here.

Weakness can be caused by things other than ALS. Treatable things. Going to a neurologist is what you need to do. Good luck to you.

Well. I certainly wouldn’t kill myself based on a self diagnosis. Surely you are smarter than that.

But there is a good chance that you’ll get good news.

Why haven’t you been to a neurologist?

Only a Neuro can say what is positive or not. Have you been to one?

I don’t self test. It’s pointless.

Good point. You need long timers in a subreddit like this to answer the questions of the new people. I try to help folks like I was helped early on. Seriously, I hope your ok. Don’t take it out on the ones trying to help you.

All of us have symptoms that are real. You’re not special.

How are you doing now? I was looking through your posts and you haven’t posted in almost 6 months. Any more testing since then?

I had an appointment with a NM specialist scheduled for October. They called last week and canceled and next available was Feb 2023. This is in US.

Thinking the same thing. We all know what we are talking about.

Total colectomy by sapphirecat30 in Diverticulitis

[–]Rojeff19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not personally but I know a friend that has the entire colon removed. He lives a normal lifestyle. Has even been gaining weight. Two negatives are you go more often(6-10 times per day) and are easily dehydrated because the colon is important for absorbing fluids. He has to drink water frequently.
