Hi all, I'm a 33 yo female and have been fearing ALS for about 10 months now, since I started twitching all over my body. 8 months ago I had an EMG in my right arm and leg, came back normal. 6 months ago I felt like I was having difficulty speaking so I went to my neurologist and he cleared me...
The ALS Clinic and some places on this forum indicates not to lose weight.
One of the first symptoms I noticed was that I was losing a little weight, but was gaining around the middle. It seemed to me that this was the result of atrophy and I conveyed those thoughts to my first neurologist and...

My father 63 years old, was diagnosed ALS 4 months ago.

I'm a very picky eater. I eat 90% organic and rarely eat out. I had a lady coming on Tuesdays to make some crock pot meals and do my bedding/laundry. She hasn't been here in nearly a year because of her own health issues.
Recently I tried a meal service called Healthy Chef. You can place an...

I'm a 35yo mum of 2 young children, and initially visited a neuro 2 years ago to assess numbness of the skin on my big toes - I realise numbness points away from ALS, but want to give a full picture.
