    Hi Michael. You have had a horrid few months. What you've described doesn't match with anything that I've experienced or read about MND, but it's a complicated disease so I, not a specialist couldn't rule it either in or out. The gym would potentially knock us out if overdone. But it would do likewise for a range of diseases. I hope that your appointment on Thursday brings some clarity about what's been going on in your tired body. Lynne
    ALS diagnosed November 2017, limb onset. For the 4 yrs previously I was losing my balance.

    I'm staying positive and taking each day as it comes.

      Hi Michael and welcome to the forum;

      I have never heard of :-

      "Unable to move or think, I felt liquid pumping down the back of my neck at the base of the skull down about 10cm. It pumped about 6-7 times, then stopped. it wasn't flowing down, it was being pumped out."

      Was liquid actually coming out and if so what colour etc?

      Have you had a MIR of the brain and base of skull?

      Have you had a lumber puncture and spinal fluid test?

      Certainly so of your symptoms are similar to those of Mnd but I think that it might be something else.

      Best wishes, Terry

        Michael, that is the only relevant information you posted.

        People with MND do NOT have normal physical exams nor EMGs.
