Hi. First of my heart goes out to all who are affected by such a terrible disease, friends and family members included. Now, I have been having an array of symptoms for sometime now. I am currently awaiting my appt for my Emg and I am a bit nervous. I would appreciate any advice about whether...

Brief history: I'm a 27 year old guy currently living in Denmark. about 2 months ago I felt fasciculations in my upper left chest during rest, which happened several times the following days, however only when at rest. I cannot recall when the 'shaking' started in my left leg and when it...

Hello. I want to start off by saying it's wonderful what you guys do here, and my heart goes out to every one of you. I've read through the stickies and a number of threads. I'm an 18 year old Caucasian male. I realize my age makes having ALS incredibly unlikely, and that's a fact I remind...

Every time they take my BP the machine gets confused by my fasiculations. Yesterday at a visit the machine read my pulse as 170, the research nurse and I both had a laugh and she said she's pretty sure your heart would explode if that were a rel value! The machine counts my twitches as pulse...

I am in need of honest opinions-and maybe a little tough love. First: I have so much respect for the folks battling this disease while also being willing to support and advise others. My gratitude goes out to you. Second: I read the sticky, and I realize I likely don't belong on this forum...

May today bring smiles to lighten your heart. B :cool:
