| Short Bio |
I am a 60 year old female who was diagnosed with ALS in September 2019 after having an EMG at USC Keck Medical.
In March 2019, I saw a neurologist in the Santa Clarita Valley for tremors to my right hand (which I have had for about one year) and at that time I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. I reached out to USC Keck’s neurology department for a second opinion and after seeing the neurologist at Keck she stated that she detected an underlying issue that was not related to Parkinson’s. Following that visit I scheduled the EMG and confirmed that I was misdiagnosed; I did not have Parkinson’s. The results of my EMG confirmed I have ALS.
