I hope you get the results soon and they give you peace of mind. I have had 3 EMGs and NCTs. I am not the bravest and although its not my favourite way of spending a day its not painful. Any discomfort is very brief.
Many thanks for kind words ellie ,I've just got to get swallowing issue sorted as it is getting worse ,and necks very stiff ,gp has referred me to ent ,never had issues before other than seasonal colds and coughs ,just got to crack on and get it sorted,I'm going to make a decent donation to mnd association cause you guys on here have been absolutely fantastic with people like myself,and its opened my eyes to this cruel illness that theres no cure .I wish you a happy xmas .
Cae1977 , carrying arms for your country statically elevates your risk of ALS /MND. There are a few of us that have and this illness is far worse and more relentless than any contact...
Thanks for reply ,why do you think it increases our chances off mnd , is it the inviroments that we serve in , or the amount of pre-deployment inoculations that we have to have ,all administered in one go ,or could it be the likes of naps (nerve agent tablets) ,who knows .
A UK study found no link between specific conflicts or length of service in the increased MND for military personnel. It did find a greater association of trauma associated with veterans with MND v non-veterans, and noted higher smoking rates in veterans - smoking is a known risk in developing MND.
