I’ve returned to seek any advice anyone would be so kind to give. I sent many questions and ultimately had my thread closed and told not to ask more until I had an appointment with a neurologist. I bought a short term insurance plan that and my pcp referred me to a neurologist, but was informed...

With all due respect to the members who have been kind to respond to me- this and many other ALA stories such as this is exactly how I ended up her! I started with foot pain, followed my calf cramping (right side mainly) and then the twitches which I explained and all of the responses from this...

Thank you. I appreciate anyone who takes the time to respond to me.

I saw a Dr. today- the same one I saw exactly a year ago and he felt it was time to refer me to a neurologist, saying it was concerning that my symptoms are still present and that I’ve added a few. I’m nervous.

I would never treat this as a joke. I have done my best to read and reread all about ALS online before coming here with questions. I have done my best to ask thoughtful questions based on things I’ve read in many ALS presentations. Without firsthand knowledge, I have no idea if what I’m...

I pray you’ll respond to me and let me know what to make of this new abdomen wasting discovery. While I listed all the symptoms I’ve had for the past year, I failed to describe the intense abdominal cramps and extreme abdominal rigidity in detail. This is something that happens several times a...

Thank you Karen! I love you for dealing with me. I will leave, but know that I will pay your kindness forward and you have a special place in my heart! I know this site brings all the crazies out and right now, I’m one of those with a mysterious ailment that’s overriding and kicking every...

Also, just stiff and sore in neck, upper arms, legs daily, although I haven’t exercised in 4 days. ANA panel showed nothing months ago.
