Hello to all, I am new to this group and would love some information and perspective on people who have seen this terrible disease first hand. I am posting for my mother who is 58 years old and experiencing an array of symptoms and problems for about 5+ months now. This all started back in...

Hi, I have read the stickies regarding ALS and I admire the commitment of everyone who takes the time to answer all the questions. I am 63 years old male having retired from work last March and my general health is good, I have haemochromatosis (iron overload) which is well managed by my...

First, let me preface this by saying I am 100% a hypochondriac. I constantly think something is wrong with me and even if someone says something jokingly to me (which is how this whole ALS suspicion started) I freak out about it. To be honest, I haven't seen my doctor about these issues yet as...

I haven't posted in a while so I wanted to update. One of the main reasons I haven't been on here is... I'm writing a book! Or trying to. It has nothing to do with ALS or anything autobiographical. It's a scifi/fantasy romance. I've long been an avid fantasy reader, and always had stories of...

Marry Christmas Everyone! Sorry for the long post and bad English. To know my story you have to know a bit of my background. I was born in the Congo and lived there until age 7. I just turned 30 and things haven't been going to well personally to be honest. As you may or may not know, Congo...

First, I want to thank everyone that takes time out of their day to help people in this forum. After doing a lot of research and reading on this forum I have decided to post a thread, seeking help. The truth is that in the past few weeks all I can think about is ALS. As time goes on the more...

Hello- I am a 29 year old male. for the last 5 years I have been experiencing twitching all over my body. Pretty much anywhere you can think of, including my tounge, has experienced twitching. Starting about a year ago I noticed I was having seriously over emotional reactions to things. For...
