First I am totally amazed by everything in the forum. In the past hour or so I have cried and laughed and realized we all have a lot in common. Not just ALS, but emotions and stories, support and heartache and more.
I was diagnosed in November of 2016. Originally the thoughts being passed...

In May 2016, after a series of falls and visits to many doctors, my mother was diagnosed with ALS. I've been lurking here, scared to come out and say anything, touched by so many stories here and by the support you all offer one another. I have benefitted indirectly when I was feeling quite...

Heya guys, so I've read through a lot of these threads and probably made myself worse by worrying.
About a week ago when I got into bed I felt by legs vibrating (like tremors from my feet). Since this I have tremors in my dominant hand (I don't know if it's weakness, but it's causing a lack of...
Hi all, thank you for all taking the time to read this and any possible advice would be so appreciated.
I'm a 23 year old female (so realise that chances are very low). The symptoms started as a shaking in my little finger and ring finger, and just a feeling that something was off with...
