spasms

Hello ALS Community, Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I am curious if this description resonates with any of you: I am in the process of being worked up for possible ALS (EMG study in a week). My neurologist is suspicious of ALS, but is also considering other possible causes of...

I posted two years ago but was unable to post on that thread but it had been closed. During the time between then and now for the most part I was able to move on from my fears of ALS. However that has changed recently as I have developed a mild slur, not noticed by normal folks but was...

Hi guys, I hope everyone is doing okay today. Since last September I have had extremely strange symptoms which have progressed. At the end of September 2018 I had a sudden onset of left muscle weakness and left arm muscle weakness. It wasn't gradual just happened one day. There was no less of...

Hey everyone. I've never posted on a forum before such as this one, although I've long been someone that often browses to see what others are going through and that people have to say. But I'm genuinely at my wits end and don't know how to cope any longer, so perhaps just discussing my issue a...

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...

Hello all. I’ll start off by saying Happy New Year and I hope everyone has a joyful evening. I’m a new member to this forum but I’ve been reading post after post as a guest. I’m a 21 year old female who has been having worrisome (to me) symptoms. I’ll admit to everyone I am somewhat of a...

So I've had a slew of variety of symptoms over the years first being on and off all over muscle twitching. The started about two years ago and subsided probably in a matter of a couple of days. Always seems to come and go. I was just seeing by to neurologist for headaches and some other...
