    I'm so sorry to hear about your rapid onset MND. There is a brutal and unfair irony when medical doctors get rare diseases, but I guess we are all human. I've noticed you helping people with their symptoms already on this board, and that is very admirable, especially because of your recent...

    New Symptoms. Please help.

    I read this today and the attached excerpt is one of the things that is keeping me sane right now. http://www.bcmj.org/article/amyotrophic-lateral-sclerosis-review All of my symptoms have been entirely symmetrical since day one. Both calfs, both glutes, both eyes, both arms, both palms/hands...

    New Symptoms. Please help.

    Thanks for your reply. I didn't come across the BFS symtoms list until after my most recent Neurologist visit, the second one. My GP is completely at a loss and just says I need counseling. I (ignorantly) thought BFS was just twitching. I had no idea it involved a whole host of neurological...

    I'm seeing my GP on Monday to give her the above list. I'll bring up the anxiety I'm getting from my main symptoms and ask if she thinks I should see a psychiatrist. I'm a walking mess right now, listening for sluring in every word I speak.

    Please help me with your opinions and experience.

    Thanks for your prompt and kind reply ShiftKicker . I definitely suffer from health-related anxiety, but it's due to my symptoms, not just any given day. I do tend to go to worst case scenario, but my symptoms are legitimately there: tremors, imbalance and awkward swallowing. And of course, the...

    Hello, First and foremost thank you for creating this site; the people who write here are heroes, truly. I know a number of what society would normally call heroes: men with medals on their chests etc, and the people who fight their own battle with ALS are no less heroic, even more so when they...
