Good mornng to you,

I too am seeking answers. My daughter is your age and she is experiecing the same symptoms you have (as well as muscle weakness and change in muscle appearance).

From reading what other persons have written, it appears to be a good thing about your age. Apparently, a young age such as yours along with other factors is positive.

My daughter is frightened and losing hope. If this is happening to you....I want you to know that there are people out there that care and are searching for answers too.

I will tell you what I tell her...I don't know the answers but I am not going to give up trying to find them. Even though you may have to kiss a LOT of frogs (the WRONG DOCTORS) there is a prince or princess out there (not necessarily a miracle worker, BUT A GOOD KNOWLEDGEABLE DOCTOR JUST THE SAME!)

I will not tell you not to worry (how can you not worry when your body has become a stranger to you?) But I will ask that you worry a little less. One step at a time....one step at a time......one step at a time.

Just don't get discouraged! You are not alone.

Are you on any medications? ALS/MND's are extremely rare for someone your age, but not impossible.
