For those who have never visited braintalk forum:
There is a guy AndreJ, he's 44 and has symptomps similar to ours ones.
His 1st EMG (only one limb) showed denervation. His second EMG showed denervation in all 4 limbs. All other test (like blood etc) were normal so docs ruled out other dideases.
He almost got an ALS dx, but (like always) has been told to take second opinion in ALS department of another clinic.
And what? Neuro exam clear - ALS specialist confused and decided to do 3rd EMG. What a surprice - clean from denervation - he found only fasciculations. Diagnosis - BFS!
AndreJ was born again.
I think there are two possibilities:
1. 1st and 2nd EMG was screwed up (the same neuro did both)
2. In very rare cases people recover from ALS (or another way: ALS rethrets). Maybe it's that case?
