Just to start, I am not posting this because I think I have ALS. I posted that I was having some swallowing problems (nothing severe) and many of the members do not, in any way, believe I have ALS from my symptoms. It's still in the back of my mind from time to time, however.
I just thought of a question that could calm many people's nerves.
"What are the numerical odds of having ALS at a very young age?" By young I mean under 25 (no offense to anyone).
I do know the life-time odds of having ALS are something like 1:1000, but I thought a number should be thrown out there for those young worriers, other than "very low." If anyone has a clue on the estimated odds and you could answer this question, that would be great.
