Looked in my mouth. Tested both knee reflexes and a couple on my arms. He told he does not think I have ALS. Then he had to go and throw in “could I be wrong, yes. But I don’t think I am.” Well you know my mind latched onto that and I felt like my heart dropped into my stomach when he said that. He told he does not think I even need an EMG but he would give me one if it would put my mind at ease. So I’m having one June 10th. Pretty nervous. Also he wants to get a ck blood test, I think that tests for muscle deterioration?! So of course after I left his office I’m like, if he doesn’t think I have it why do I need this blood test to check for muscle deterioration?!? Ugh I hate my mind.
