The symptoms are just so odd. The hands trembling and shaking, and the trouble balancing on my left foot. Sometimes I can balance shakily on left foot for about 45-50 seconds, then a half hour later not even 5 seconds. I know ALS doesn't come and go, but this is scary.

Last year about this time, I started feeling like I had ALS. Some twitching, trouble swallowing, feeling weak. The symptoms went away for a while, but now I feel like they are back. I have twitching in both hands sometimes, even when hands are at rest, my hands shake when I lift a heavy pitcher...
