Hello All
By way of introduction, I am new to this and have several symptoms that have warranted referral to a neurologist.
I live in the UK, am 25, and have no family history of ALS. My symptoms are as follows:
1. Loss of ability to move big toe upwards (right foot);
2. General weakness of...
Hey guys, I recently found atrophy in my left leg that was contributing to my weakness and slight limp. The quad is smaller than the right one and it's decently noticeable. I haven't tripped or fallen or lost my balance in any way and have no fasics. No Babinski sign and no clonus, my reflexes...

I will say I have been to see a neurologist, but have yet to have my MRI. She said it is not a...
Hi, I'm Brook.
I didn't know where else to post this. I'm not really asking if I have ALS. I am introducing myself and venting my fears to a group of compassionate people. I read all the stickies and apologize in advance if I'm too verbose.
First off, I have been lurking on this site for...
