Thank you Nikki and duly noted

Re: Questions about bulbar onset Unfortunately mu neurologist saw the pictures and thought there was some slight atrophy so I'll be having another EMG on tuesday. Hopefully this will be the last you hear from me.

I am almost certain you suffer from anxiety disorder of some sorts like I do. Most people don't (or are unwilling to) recognize it. It's especially hard on science orientated people, who are generally very rational, like you and me. I got master's on applied thermodynamics and I am director of...

Thank you VERY much.

I want to offer my sincerest apology. It is absolutely NOT my intention to be in ANY WAY disrespectful to PALS. I'd like to believe I'm nice person filled with empathy. My therapist absolutely knows where I am with this issue and trust me I'm putting tons of hard work to get over this anxiety...

I will try to post the right hand pic one more time.

Sorry, I accidentally posted two pics of my left hand. I'm talking about muscle between my the little finger and ring finger and also ring finger and middle finger. I have felt some weakness in that hand but I went to see doctor and he said that the strength is fine. I should say that I've been...

Sorry, I accidentally posted two pics of my lefthand. Here's the right hand.

Please help me and take a look at the pic of my left hand. Does this seem like atrophy to you? There's also picture of my right hand for comparison. Left hand <Right Hand Image to follow -- Mod>

Sent my neurologist an email about the twitching in my tongue (before I originally posted here). He replied to my me FROM HIS HOLIDAYS and said pretty much the same as what I read here. I also asked about ENMG but he saw no point in doing it since he still feels nothing in my symptoms point...

My sincerest apologies. I was just trying to encourage her that there MUST be someone in Athens or at very least Greece who has extensive knowledge of the disease. Greekmis the home of the modern medicine after all! Again, my apologies.

How in a country size of Greece can there only be two doctors with experience of ALS. I don't belive it for a second. There's roughly 3 million people living in general Athens area and I know (now that I've read all there is to know about the disease) that it affects little bit more people...

I'll try and make a donation later. The stuff I've read here have been the most helpful stuff I've read on the Internet. I mean the stuff on sticky topic are the ones consistent with what my neurologist tells me about the disease. Most of the other stuff, especially on my native language, are...

Thank you very much for your thoughts Nikki! I did read the sticky and granted lot of the issues were covered there. And I do admit that my anxiety might be the real reason behind all this. I've been going through therapy for six months now and my therapist feels we have touched some touchy...

Hello everyone! First of all I'd like to apologize from everyone who has ALS diagnosed. It is not my intention to mock anyone or sound disrespectful. I genuinely wish to get view from people who are experiencing the disease first hand. I'm a 36 year old male and I have to admit that I have...
