Hi all,
Thank you so much for taking time to read my questions. I truly appreciate it. I know ALS looks different in each person but I wanted to ask a few questions about potential early symptoms. For the last year or so I've noticed that when I take a drink sometimes the liquid seems to rush...
Before I tell you my situation, I really have to say that I have been reading posts on this forum for a little while and the community you have is amazing. I think it is so incredibly selfless of you to take time to respond to those who are deep in the throes of anxiety/hypochondria the way that...
I've read many of the posts on the ALS forums and have decided to make my own post in the hopes that someone can offer some insight to my situation. I appreciate any feedback I can get as this has become something I cannot ignore and am constantly looking into.
I am a 27 year old female and am...
Hey! Sorry for bothering you people.
I have some symptoms and I want to share them with you. I'm really scared and anxious (anxious toughts). Everyday thinking that I have ALS.
Symptoms:
- Fasciculations - All over body, (but they are in the legs most of the time, calves and little lower...
Hey everyone. I've visited this forum many times over the past year due to some health issues I've had, and I thought I'd finally post to get your thoughts on a) my specific issues/symptoms, and b) how to process in general the discrepancies between the ALS onset "common knowledge" vs specific...

Hello.
Please, If I am out of line, I apologize. I truly want to help. From what I can see, and hear from the experts, a large majority of people who come into the DIHALS, including myself, suffers from anxiety. I thought it might be helpful to add a few symptoms of Anxiety, that can mimic...
First off, I'll admit, I'm a very anxious 18 year old male and I tend to self-diagnose myself a lot but the past couple days I've been freaking out over the slightest possibility of ALS. I also want to apologize because I'm sure you guys are tired of people like me on the forums but I really...
Dear all,
I really appreciate that you take time to reply to anxious people on this thread. I have read the stickies, but am still unsure, and my parents and I would just like to be educated/reassured, if that’s okay. I have been referred to a neurologist, but have a long wait, so some...
My husband has had this horrible disease for 6 years. He is 57 and I am 50. We have been married 11 years. He is a 25 year Retired Veteran of the Air Force. It came on fast, it took his voice and his walking first...then gradually he has declined to the point of being in a wheelchair 12-14...

Without going in to which doctors said what, I've gone to Mayo Clinic (Jacksonville), UF Shands ALS Clinic (Jacksonville) and University of South Florida ALS Clinic, along with my local neuro who has known me for 15 years.
I got one "doubtful you have MND" one "you have ALS" and one "we'll just...
