Ive been through the gamut of tests over the years as it started with twitching as my father passed away from ALS in 2003- i went back in march of 2006 and had all the tests except the spinal tap- to show elevated proteins- ( i should have had it) now its 2008 and my left side still twitches and is weaker than my right side however now i have as well as a physical therapist notice definate muscle atrophy in my left foot (which continues to fasiculate all the time now-so i am scheculed for a neuro visit for july 29th Man i dont know if the waiting wont kill me first-I am praying of course i dont have the disease as i was a care giver for my father and he was older than i am by almost 30 years- ( im 47) so if i do have it it must be familia type- great- anyway just needed to get it off my chest as i know what fiasiculations with muscle atrophy means-
