    Here in the U.S., I had the typical MRIs, EMG, labs, and in-person assessment by a neurologist. I’m curious if doctors in other countries have similar or different tests for ALS.

    I’m in NZ and I had two sets of EMG tests done 8 months apart plus a few other strength and neurologal tests performed by the neurologist right before being being given a confirmed diagnosis. I had prior to that had two MRI tests which ruled out other possibilities for my leg weakness coming from my back.

      sarahw – – may I ask, how long would you guess it took from you first noticing symptoms until you received a diagnosis?
