No X file but Very Interesting Hi Everyone, I doing fine. Tom S I believe you have some explaining to do or perhaps someone with access to your computer has some explaining to do. Either way get busy explaining this. I never had any MRI"s, I am not Dx, however I am traveling as I write. I'm in...

Please pass on my deepest regrets to Annmarie. She will be in my thoughts always.

Be careful here Hi Jess, I haven't told her to look into ALS as a possibility and wonder if I should? Please let me preface everything that follows with the fact that I am not an expert. However, in my humble opinion..................NO! You obviously care for your sister, so why throw...

I'm proud of you Jenny Jenny, You did it. I do not think anyone thought you were crazy, but several of us (self included) were becoming progressively more worried about your current mental strength. Worry is like trying to push a very big stone up a very long hill. It simply wears all of us...

Hi Jeliota, Thank you for taking the time to guide the point of twitching so well. Your straight talk is refreshing in my opinion. It certainly seems to me that, the idea of ALS packs such a dramatic / traumatic hammer that if anybody has the slightest sign / signs of symptoms, well you can...

Hi Bert, You are receiving some good advise from these wonderful folks. Less than one (1) month ago I was lost and definately had ALS. Today largely due to the vision and input of the helpful people on this forum, I could have a multitude of conditions other than ALS. The very best advise I...

The dog house. Have not been there in awhile. I suspect next week.......say about Thursday to Sunday noon or so. Seriously, my only concern was your health (upstairs). I can see from your tone, your having a better day. enjoy the dog house.

My apologize folks, My GP said he suspected Muscular Distrophy as the probably concern, not MS. I converted his comments to MS, which originally I felt was the same. Do not why I did that, but now my question is.....Does Muscular Distrophy eventually flow into ALS. Sorry about the confusion...

Hello everyone, Just received word that both my Xrays & TC Scan were clean. So, no issues with my blood, brain or spinal cord. Neurologist is next, supposedly soon. GP is suggesting MS. Is MS an early stage of ALS? Would MS be good under these circumstances? The Neurologist that my GP is...

end of week update Hello everyone, Here is a brief update for those curious about my progress. First off, my lovely wife has sailed off into the wild blue yonder for 10 days. Wow, she was so excited to be going. Secondly, try this, absolutely no Honey Do list. I can just lie on the couch...

My update First, thank you to everyone for your continued support and excellent ideas. Yesterday I visited my GP as planned. His response to my condition more or less fell well within the predictable process. They will be scheduling me for a CT Scan, appointment with a Neurologist, Neck /...

The wheels are in motion. Hi Jamiet, Thank you for your interest. I will be seeing my GP on Monday PM. He has been on vacation this past week. The MND Clinic will only see me with a referal from my GP. After all that I have read on this forum, this really does make sense in my...

You are not alone Your tone is frustrated and scared to say the very least. I feel your pain.....literally. You need to trust that there are people that will be reassuring to you on this forum. They will help you get through this. Only one week ago, I was lost and I mean lost. This forum...

Blizna, a few years ago, I was experiencing twitches on my lips lightly, then my eyes , then my fingers, back to my eyes, then my forhead, then somewhere else. These twitches would not last for days and continually moved around my body. Most of the time the twitches were not even noticable to...

Thank you again for your support. This AM as I was showering it suddenly occurred to me how relieved I feel to have you folks. It is really an unusual experience for me, typically I lan towards independence. The guidance and suggestions offered are shaping my direction in a very comforting...
