I'm very sorry Nikki, I need to pay more attention where I open my threads - second time I open it in the wrong forum within 8 posts, shouldn't happen like that. I didn't mean to cause any offence. The last appointment was indeed fine, the doctor wasn't particularly worried which is good, and...

Hey everybody, I'm back for now. I've been wondering: Clinical weakness has been described often enough on these forums, however -was it the first thing you noticed or was there weakness before that was gradually increasing to the point where things just didnt work anymore? Example for what I...

I will follow your advice, affected. I would appreciate if this thread could stay open so I can post what the doctor said. It's not that long until then. Thanks to all of you, I'm really glad I found this forum. Riz

Oh dear lord, I meant to post this in General Discussion. Sorry :( Gooseberry, you have no idea how much clearer those few sentences made it for me. @Nikki J My old neuro said everything was fine (I don't think he took me seriously, see my old thread) - moved to a different city, got a new...

Hi guys, sorry if this thread has been there before - I searched the forums but couldn't find anything specific. I've been to the doctor's today and got the results of some tests - he also noted that my muscle wasting seems to progress. Later I spent some time on the web came across what is...

Well, it's less the twitching that I'm worried about, I'm more worried about the atrophy. It is clearly visible, and has ... made progress, for a while now. Also the twitching isn't quite random, I'm not sure if those beautiful anti-anxiety meds have anything to do with it, but right now the...

Just great - went to the doctor, got my NCV and my reflexes checked - both were ok. Then he said if those are ok he doesn't see any need for an EMG and kindly showed me the door. Next appointment - hopefully next week. Found one who accepts patients quickly if it's something acute ... oh well...

Thanks for your answer, Atsugi. I hope you are right about it. Google is a curse, because ALS is basically all you read when you enter those symptoms. I'm going to be checked tomorrow, I'm already nervous.

Hey, thanks for the welcome :) Glad you liked your time here in Frankfurt :) The zoo is awesome, yup. Haha, that song is pretty old from my view, but I remember it running on our car's radio all the time when I was a kid. The singer's name is Matthias Reim if I'm correct ;)

Hello everybody, I've just begun doing some reading on ALS and well, I'm worried that I might have it - my doc sadly mentioned that it's possible. While googling information I found these forums. I really want to thank everybody who posted on this board for sharing their stories, their views...

Hey everybody. :) This is my first post on these forums, I'm glad I found someplace that might help me answer my questions. I've been feeling like I'm getting weaker and more easily exhausted at work for quite a while. My legs started feeling heavy. Never thought about ALS, though. I'm quite...
