Short Bio

Living with tarsal tunnel in right foot for a few years, redid nerve conduction tests 27 February 2020. EMG suggestive of some type of motor neuron disease. Reflexes show involvement of upper motor neurons. Neurologist concerned with fatty deposits along my spine. Awaiting MRI, will be fast tracked for MRI if things worsen.

Noticing things like difficultly swallowing, which I thought was sore throat from post nasal sinus drip. Thought my legs were slimmer (and more attractive) because of the exercise I was doing, been happy to go down to 230lbs. What should I be looking for and not writing off as other stuff?

Spent way too much time with Doctor Google this weekend, only ALS or late onset Tay- Sachs disease seem to fit the emg findings and what I am experiencing.
