    extremely worried it's ALS

    I am sorry if I offended any of you. That was not my intention. At all. I was merely trying to place another perspective onto the the discussion regarding how best to deal with frightened and anxious members. Having been one myself. My intention was not all to cause an argument. So I am taking...

    extremely worried it's ALS

    Thankyou for your comments. I will admit my comments were not necessarily intended for this particular post and chain of letters. However, over my time here reading information on this website, I have seen several put downs and sarcastic comments to several people in the DIHALS . I will not...

    extremely worried it's ALS

    I'd like to just sy that any comments are appreciated. However, put downs and sarcasm do nothing for someone who is freaked out. I know grooming them and soothing them is Noones job, but this is a support forum for the un diagnosed isn't it? Thankyou in advance to people kind enough to respond...

    extremely worried it's ALS

    Hey again, The twitching and buzzing sounds really similar to so many posts I read on the about bfs forum. Truly twitching is such an unusual feeling it is enough to worry someone even without having looked it up on the internet. However, if you google something you will find a scary...

    Odd new symptom

    Hi there, I often get that. I don't have ALS.... well if I do I just don't know it yet...just some worrying mild symptoms so far. However, if it makes you feel a bit better, vibrations in the foot, knee, leg, hip etc are quite common. If you google it you will find a lot of other people...

    Time to leave

    it is hard to imagine what the PALS are going through and it sounds like they are probably dedicating a lot of time to typing with responses due to their inability to just do it the way we can still do it in most cases. I understand the real fear of this disease though. I stumbled upon this...

    I will keep y posted. I have found something called post viral vagal palsy which results in an abnormal uvula and reflux symptoms which is another thing I have issues with currently too. I will let you know if the doctor thinks this is anything that I may have suffered. It still doesn't explain...

    Hi there, I found your posts on this forum. I too live near cairns and am having health issues.

Did you have to go to brisbane for help or was the...

    Thanks for your reply. I guess your uvula could be normal from you description just long. If your soft palate is sagging, ie. one side lower than the other or both sides not rising when you say Hahn, then y may have cause for concern. But I am no doctor so couldn't say for sure as I am in a...

My symptoms include the following . Uvula is pointing upwards instead of hanging down it also deviates to the...

    Concerned.

    Thankyou for your reply. I hope you are right. From what I have read, having bulbar symptoms and an arm symptom is a bit contradictory. Although it doesn't really explain my uvula being deviated and shrunken. Perhaps an ENT could explain that. I appreciate you taking the time to read and respond...

    Concerned.

    Hi there, I am thankful for this support group being available. I am a young mum with young children. I realise you must get queries all the time. However, my symptoms are concerning me. I live in a remote part of Australia and access to medical care is not easily accessable. My symptoms are as...
