    Time to see a specialist?

    Tried to post before and it went to moderation for some reason. I sound further along in symptoms than some of you and I haven't even been officially diagnosed yet. 2 uncles on my mother's side, her 2 brothers died of ALS. I started having symptoms in my early 20's though I didn't realize it...
