    Hello again. I first want to thank you for your previous advice. We went to Stanford University in CA, but I left with more questions than answers...and yes, my husband and I tried our very best to ask. We went in prepared, but somehow it "didn't work." I know that you are very experienced and...

    Hello. I'm at a loss...

    Hello again. Thank you for taking the time to read (and possibly respond) this this post. I am at a total loss. I'm now 39, and I have tried to get answers for a little over a year, but I just keep getting insidiously worse. I don't know who to ask or what to do. I am very well aware that you...

    Atsugi, I also cannot find the journal article that I read when I typed that post a few months back, so I take back that statement completely. (I could find some controversy, but no good supportive research. In fact, the research failed to show a correlation). Thank you. No need to spread...

    And now...

    Atsugi, I understand that that might seem silly to you. You're right of course, probably multiple NCSs don't cause ALS. I think I was grasping...it is true that that people who are exposed to repetitive, low level electric shocks (such as electrians) have a documented increase in ALS cases...

    And now...

    Hello. I'm back again. I understand that I'm supposed to stick to my original thread but it was closed. Quick recap:symptoms started with fasiculations in Feb. of 2015. I have had increasing hand atrophy, foot problems, and shoulder weakness. (This is mostly in left hand side of body). I also...

    Thank you for the response. It's good to know there is a "life" after. I'm so glad that you are happy and able to still live a full life. �� I wish you all the best.

    Thanks for taking the time to message me. Yes. I wanted to believe this whole thing was anxiety, but recently (well, hard to say when, because it seems slow and fast at the same time) I have had lots of left shoulder/arm weakness, to complement everything else. This is the same side I have the...

    Questions about bulbar onset

    Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed post. Yes, I am definitely hoping it is health anxiety and that I can move on. Other than the swallowing, reflexes, and fasiculations (which could definitely all be due to anxiety), the thing that worries me the most is my left hand/neck. (I'm not...

    Questions about bulbar onset

    Atsugi, thank you for your answer (and sharing your excellent sense of humor). Glad you don't see ALS in my future. Yes, the shoulder weakness is getting worse, slowly though. It is odd, but I'm mostly weak when I try to hold something out in front of me straight, with my left hand. Can't pick...

    Questions about bulbar onset

    Like many here, I come seeking advice. I have read all of the stickies and tried my best to "research" what I can about ALS. (I am a junior high science teacher, and the lack of answers and knowledge about the pathogenesis, etc. is baffling to me. But I should keep this short). Sorry). About...
