I was diagnosed with chronic demylinating polyneuropathy through an NCS (abnormal sensory slowing) and and EMG (abnormal). I got these done at my local neurologist, but I am waiting to see a neuromuscular specialist to figure out the cause. I experience twitching/fasculations, pains and aches everywhere, very quick muscle fatigue (even something like taking out the trash) and occasional numbness. They’ve already ran blood tests to check for everything basic. What can I expect next at the neuromuscular specialist ? And does anyone with these symptoms have a definitive diagnosis? It’s been about a year and 3 months since the symptoms began.

EDIT: Wow, thank you all for sharing your amazing insights with me. It is very much appreciated and I love reading them and learning more from you all!❤️🙌🏾

Hello everyone, I'm a community college student completing a project on the older generation. The purpose is NOT to survey or collect data, but to invite you all to share your story as it pertains to you. I have compiled a list of questions, feel free to answer some, all, or tell your story the way you want it to be told. Thank you all!

- When do you feel most like yourself?

- How would you describe yourself?

- Do you think about mortality differently now than you once did? 

- Is nostalgia more comforting, or painful for you? 

- What did happiness mean for you in your 20’s? What does it mean now? 

- What do you hope people remember about you? 

- If you could preserve one memory forever, which would it be? 

- Was there a particular moment you realized you had become the older generation? 

- If you could introduce me to one version of yourself from another time, who would I meet?
