So even though your doctors may rule out mercury poisoning as a possible cause of your condition, it wouldn't hurt to consider some natural ways to remove mercury from your body.

Some people deteriorate faster while others remain the same or plateau. Typically Bulbar onset is quicker. <br />5 pts is Alot to lose. <br /><br /> I have an injury to the lumbar region of my spine that's work related. When I got hurt I tore several muscles before the disc popped out. Once the disc was out the vertebrate shifted and lost some feeling in left leg and foot. The Dr ordered the EMG to check the nerves in my back and left leg. Even today I can cut the left foot without feeling it ,which is a bad thing . I'm diabetic.<br /><br /> The shift in my spine resembled the curvature of scoliosis . I had surgery and spent a few months depending on my husband for everything. I got better but the operation was not a permanent fix. <br /><br />It was a humbling experience asking for help after working in Nursing . I spent 12 years caring for others. <br /> <br /><br />Angelmielkayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17998817302291196782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651496850952600622.post-80158608634060374922013-04-30T10:14:40.031-06:002013-04-30T10:14:40.031-06:00Hi Mielkay

So far the disease has progressed pretty much along the lines suggested by the neurologists. I am feeling the loss of strength in my arms, much like it started on my legs. While the muscle target is random, the timeline seems to be holding - one point per month.<br /><br />This message finds me at 33. In November I was at 38. Five months, five points.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13569763685182951696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651496850952600622.post-50640643284851744672013-04-30T10:03:32.963-06:002013-04-30T10:03:32.963-06:00I've an EMG before.

They look at each individual symptom to include or exclude other diagnosis. Each individual symptom is not specific to ALS but grouped together is an indicator of a neuromuscular disease . Along with diagnostic testing, the diagnosis is correct.<br /><br />Most Drs will not say there is 100% certainty out of fear of lawsuits. <br /><br />Progression of ALS is not set in stone as many diseases are. Because it progresses differently It's hard to predict what muscles will be affected next. Or an actual timeframe of progression. <br /><br />I hope this message finds you well Richard.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />mielkayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17998817302291196782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651496850952600622.post-5513150234339983392013-04-29T20:50:12.158-06:002013-04-29T20:50:12.158-06:00They tested for those things and a whole lot of ot...They tested for those things and a whole lot of other things. You should see the list; it's long. I asked specifically about Lyme Disease and chemical poisoning. I asked about every and any other possibility.<br /><br />Neurologists HATE to say ALS. Doctors detest this diagnosis and do everything they can to not make it.
