Hi everyone I have been reading this forum for a month and I have a question regarding muscle weakness. If ALS is a disease of progressive muscle weakness, why does it happen without notice or feeling prior to total loss of function. Everyone says it is about failing not feeling but can't u feel fatigue and gradual weakness before the bottom drops out and all of a sudden I can't use my arm? Is it possible that someone strong and athletic might take longer for the muscles to die. I know there is no diagnosis until there is clinical weakness but it seems logical like there is some sort of progression. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
