Motor Neuron Disease

Motor Neuron Disease

blood tests- elevated sed rates, elevated ANA, elevated enzymes indicating muscle damage
ruled out MS, Lupus, GBS, MG, swallow test results indicate that there are some anomalies
Psychologist ruled out conversions.  

negative mri and a positive EMG

I have been combating this for 3 years... symptoms came about 6 months after septicemia
Doctor says (mootor neuron disease) but does not know what kind.  

Symptoms:
weak muscles, left hand i barely fuctioning , I can no longer write, difficulties with balance, I now use a powered wheel chair, I have difficulties with eating, I am progressively getting worse.  
from what I was once able to do, to where I am now, is a significant difference.  .I was very active in many different ways, now i cannot speak effectively.  I use an onscreen keyboard for most of my communications. My legs and arms have gotten skinny.

There is not much pain, only when I have muscle contractures.

Is there some rare disease that they cannot find?  What kind of Motor Neuron Disease do I have?

MND is very difficult to diagnose. It is usually made after other conditions have been ruled out. It is really important that you stay positive and as up-beat as possible as stress and depression can hasten the symptoms. So little is known about nerve disorders and a strong will to succeed really can make a difference. So go on, proove your doctor wrong!
