Hi all, My name is Mallic and I don't have ALS. After experiencing every ALS 'symptom' in the book I am happy to finally say that. In 2014 I started experiencing fasciculations which eventually spread over my entire body and I signed up for this website under a different alias. In 2015 I felt...

During my appointment I had an exam of my strength and my Dr. told me "You're going to be hard to figure out" and he scheduled me for an EMG on this coming Monday. I am scared but I feel relieved to just know for sure what is going on after two years of symptoms. Sorry for the late post Nikki, I...

After 2 years of symptoms I am about to go see a neurologist in 2 hours. Things have changed since my last post. I have muscle wasting in between most of my fingers on my left hand especially in-between my thumb and index finger. The weakness that was once just in my hand has went into my arm...

Hello again, In the past few weeks I have noticed an increase in the intensity of my symptoms. I have noticed that my twitching has really picked up and is very prominent in my left leg which in the last past 10 days or so has felt weak especially around the knee. My Hamstrings and butt...

Pain is good right? So I went to my doctor about my weakness in my thumb. All he did was put me through a range of motion test and ordered some blood work. He noted asymmetry, whatever that means no body is perfect right? I go back in next week to get the results. Yesterday my left hand's...

Thanks again, you're awesome I'm throwing those questions into my phone and I'm going to stay off here for a while. Take care!

Thanks nikki for the quick response, as someone who has personal experience with this disease do you know any questions I should ask my doctor next time I see him? I'm going to take your advice and stop hanging around here.

So I went to the doctor today and told about the problems I have. He said I have a lot of atrophy in my left shoulder. He didn't do any tests besides like a range of motion test I think? He took some blood and said that depending on the results we will know which direction to take. I don't...

Hi, I am a 20 year old with very similar symptoms. My thumb isn't doing so good and my hand shake when I eat too. Maybe we could stay in touch since we are in the same age range and have similar symptoms?

Thank you so much for replying! I will be seeing my a GP on Monday thanks again.

Okay, so bare with me here. I know you all get your fair share of people freaking out over this disease, I just need some advice. (Disclaimer this might be a long one) For the past year and a half I have been having fasciculations all over my entire body which caused me concern but after...

So I have been a twitcher for about a year in a half now and have been in good health all my life. I play guitar, lift weights, and fence. When this twitching all started I told my doctor during a routine physical and she said the twitches were benign. I took it at face value and haven't thought...
