    Absolutely devastated

    I'm just going to keep this short as I'm already 99% sure I have ALS and just want someone to confirm that my hands look like split hand syndrome. My symptoms started back in June of this year when I was pregnant with my son. I started to have random twitches all over which I still have today...

    Abnormal EMG results

    Hi all, I've had widespread twitching for quite a while but know by now that twitching is non-specific. Some other symptoms have come up however that have been causing me more concern. Some of my muscles, including obliques (both sides), calf muscles and foot arch have been feeling 'crampy', so...

    Is it ALS?

    I’ve read the sticky note that said that this is not a progressive sensory disease. I felt immediate calm when I read that. But then personal experiences of people with ALS seem in line with what I am experiencing. For about 10 days I have experienced sudden muscle weakness. I am still a 5/5...

    Can't tell if this is ALS (27 year old female) scared

    for the last year I've had stomach issues. But that's beside the point. Two months ago all my joints hurt so bad felt like I had arthritis. So after that about a week after it felt like I had broken my wrist or pulled it. Then the pain went away magically and now it's weak. I can still lift it...

    Update after Neuro visit

    Just wanted to check in. I had my follow up appointment with my neuromuscular specialist at OSU on Wednesday of last week. It was a completely different experience than I had the last time. I didn’t see the medical student, only my doctor, which I think made a huge difference. He actually...
