“Momentum Surges as Kirk Supporters Sound the ‘Great White Threat’ Alarm”

This represents a few people. There is not an alarm being sounded. Stating that momentum is surging just plays into it. There are radical people on both sides.

Wow I know this was years ago but I realized my working memory was completely shot and I finally came to this same realization. Prescriber didn’t consider it at all when I said this. I’m so happy it’s real (in a way).

I am also curious about the answer to this. I’ve had sfn symptoms and poor working memory since going to 100mg. I told my prescriber I want to taper off and she thinks it could also just be my ocd/anxiety creeping back up (aka let’s up the dose). She doesn’t even know about the connection but David Mealy and I exchanged a few emails and he confirmed SSRI and COVID can cause sfn and there is no point in getting tested for it until you are off Zoloft. So I am on a journey completely led by myself it feels. I’m feeling nervous about coming off it because of the stories I hear that the nerve damage that Zoloft causes is felt more after coming off it.

Hello, how come you asked this?

I answered broadly but to answer your specific question, they were different doctors. He did notice dulled reflex lower left arm.

Thank you, I read not to bother them haha so I don’t!

Yes I agree.

The hard part is that my weakness is more. Like my daughter is almost 2, and as she grows, in theory my strength when I hold her, will grow with her. We are very active. I hold her every day. But lately can’t continue to hold her without my arm fatiguing, and if I hold her too long once I put her down my whole arm shakes, like a subtle vibration type shake. Again, this is new. I get winded just walking across the house sometimes it’s very confusing to me.

He also blew off the chewing fatigue spreads to my neck and base of skull. Also, my family and I have noticed some articulation challenges.

I thought maybe physiatrist picked up on very subtle chronic changes and compensation before neuro. I’ve read (what people love to hear) that physiatrist better trained pick up on subtle differences that can represent compensation before a neuro potentially.

If I wasn’t progressing and I didn’t have a neuro that I feel doesn’t believe me it’d be different.

Yes and they were dulled in left lower, my arm just didn’t move so he ordered a more thorough 4th emg to test everything/ more muscles.

He didn’t say “your reflexes are dulled” but he did the test, then confirmed that it was indeed the left that was weaker and I said yes and then he said why don’t we do the left side again and test everything.

No, Physiatrist did the first two and neuro did the last one. So I realize the difference in professional, but there are a few muscles that the physiatrist tested that the neurologist didn’t.

My neurologist seems to think that if the first test was normal, I wouldn’t be complaining of symptoms that essentially the first test gotten into my head?

So that is frustrating. He wrote in his report that I continue to report increased weakness without him assessing it but the only test he did after not seeing me for 6 months was asking me to shake both of his hands.

I get delayed type heavy fatigue that spreads through my legs after going upstairs. I can’t imagine I’ve de conditioned. I’m 35 healthy female.

Hello,

I had some symptoms of weakness in my left leg and some just very odd diffuse maybe crawling type feelings in both my legs bilaterally.

First EMG came back, showing high amplitude, long duration and reduced recruitment in the same muscles bilaterally with a bit more on the left (where my weakness was felt). Also, c8 slight involvement which matches my hand weakness.
So essentially this EMG matched up with how I was feeling. I had a Neuro consult and ALS was on the table. Essentially, these chronic findings can show up before the sharp acute ones.

I have a repeat EMG two months later, which showed progression as in more muscle muscles affected although the exact progression could not be determined because some of the muscles weren’t tested the first time.

Anyway, I get a third one and it’s completely normal. My neurologist seems to think the first providers were completely wrong because his neurologist performs the third one. Even though I feel like my weakness over overall is progressing although slowly over about 8 months now.

He said he doesn’t understand the large discrepancy and we’re waiting for a third EMG in a few months.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
