I have never posted on any forums before but have been reading this one for a month or so and have learned a lot
I was just diagnosed Jan, after a year of testing and watching the progression of symptoms. Looking back symptoms may have started in 1995, when diagnosed with "tendenitis in a hip, (pain and weakness), it did not resolve, then in 1999 "SI joint pain" and 6 months in chronic pain rehab, (leg now is weak but pain is controlled).
About a year or more ago, my leg is now to weak to lift and I have footdrop. First neuro unsure of what it is so sent me to a specialist on ALS, 1.5 hrs in her exam room complete with EMG and nerve conduction tests, I do not have ALS, the top 2 possible diagnosis are PLS or PPMS (primary progressive MS). Last month she ruled out PPMS and I have been given a diagnosis of PLS.
That is the abridged version of my story.
