Quick history. I read the sticky and I understand the reasons behind it. First, I'm praying for you all that have been dealing with this. Second, I'm tripping about possibly having something wrong. 9 months ago I noticed my hands trembling and constipation as well as frequent urination with...
Hi. First time I was in here, it was 3 years ago. I was depressed, trying to find what is WRONG with me, what is WRONG with my body.
People here like Nikki J, Vincent and Atsugi... They were trying to help me, saying it's nothing wrong with me, but I was just like YOU, I didn't accept what...
I have all the symptoms, increasingly bulbar to be specific.
I have been in and out of the hospital the past couple of weeks, I have the follow-up appointment with Neuro on Wednesday. The first time he saw me he took ten minutes and then told me it was probably stress. I know why its because I...
Well, recently been noticing stuff going down the wrong way a bit more often. Still just randomly. Just thin liquids and saliva. Not very often. Saw doc... he says not ALS.. he's not worried and if he was he'd tell me. He asked if I had trouble with food.. and I said no. I asked how he could...
Hey there,

Cliff has been gone now for almost 9 months.
In the beginning, I felt relief. I thought this was really strange, almost wrong... I felt guilty about that. Then I felt like I was doing really well, too well really...
Hi everyone, firstly thank you for accepting me in to the forum. I am here to learn a bit more about ALS and to be able to talk to others that are or have gone through this process as it feels such a lonely place to be sometimes.
It all started back in May/June 2017 with my partner, who was...

Hi - and first off thanks for reading.
