    20yo Male, and I'm worried

    Hi! I'm a 20yo male. I've been suffering from difficulty breathing (more of, I don't feel as relieved when I take a breath in as I should be) and occasional chest pain for several years. Earlier this year, the symptoms got worse so I decided to get myself checked up. I did blood test, urinal...

    Non-VA Benefits?

    My wife and I are both over 65 and take SS. We also care for her mother, 95 and Parkinsons, and lives with us. My wife has developed seizures in the last two months and is not well, pretty much confined to the house as these seizures render her unresponsive for as much as 3 hours. I am still...

    I am 28 years old. No family history of ALS but there is a lot of random neurological problems in my family from: my grandfather having parkinsons, my mother suffering from chronic muscle cramping and my aunt who has myclonic tourettes. It’s been about 7 months since my first sign of weakness...

    Here again.. Read all the stickies

    I have been on this forum for around 2 years, have had symptoms of MND for three now. I have read all the stickies and I'm not the typical hypochondriac with a few twitches that googled my way here. What I have finally figured out after three years, 10 neurologists and probably more than 25...

    Its been a long road. And here I am with some need of support.

    Hello all, My name is Joe. Firstly, I would like to say that my heart and all of my love goes out to you all. The strength that it takes to be apart of any disease, especially this one, is beyond all measure! Hmm I don't really know where to begin. I suppose I will start from the top of my...
