I don't know how young is young, but I am 31 and consider myself to be young.

I was diagnosed at 33, I am 38 now and was always very young at heart and still am, despite my condition.

Viviana feel free to contact me on Facebook. Search Duane Siple and you will find me.

My son was recently DXed with ALS. He is 18. He doesn't like to talk about it much and doesn't post on this forum.

Sorry to hear about your own DX. Even though many people on this forum are a bit older, since that's the norm for this horrible disease, I think you will find caring, compassionate people here.

Hi, my sister-in-law is from Switzerland. I am not quite sure from which area but close to Geneva. She is a physiotherpist and can speak all the dialects of Switzerland. She has been helping me a lot with exercises, eating, breathing etc. She won't mind you contacting her. You could chat on more than ALS.

Please contact me and I will give you her contact details. You are welcome to contact me as well. I am 43 but have children your age. You are so young! I will pray for you!
