Thanks are really not needed. I felt really guilty about my posts on this forum after realizing that I didn't have ALS. If the story itself or an excerpt of it can be helpful as/or added to a sticky, feel free. My ALS story is over but the neuro stuff is not. Just realize if your a DIHALSer...

I just hope that some of those who browse the old threads will stumble across this. I know because I was there, and I believed that no one who had the symptoms I had and came out of it without facing ALS. The neurologist I saw recently explained that coincidences do happen and it seems that I am...

Hello everyone. I have posted here before. I would like to post one final time and share the end of my story in hopes that it will help those who come here in future in a similar situation to mine. This will be long, so please don't feel like you need to read it- I am not seeking help, but just...

I'm sorry to bother everyone. I swear that I am listening to everyone's input and that I am not trying to force my way into being a member here. I know how bad this looks. I promise that I am doing everything in my power to continue seeing doctors until I figure things out. I really am not...

Hey there shiftkicker, thanks for your reply. What you say makes sense. I guess I am struggling with the medical system and what not and am coming here because it's one of the few places I can actually talk to people who are knowledgeable about these bizarre and terrible neurological issues- I...

Hello, I really am sorry to be back asking more questions. I do see the difference in leg length, thanks for pointing that out. I did follow up with my PCP and it's extremely frustrating because he is refusing to refer me to another neuro. He wants me to see a therapist, which I have already...

Hello everyone, I have a previous thread here: https://www.alsforums.com/forum/do-i-have-als-als/41253-deeply-concerned.html I do not want to waste anyone's time, and am thankful to Laurie for her valuable insight already. I am posting because I am would really appreciate anyone's input on...

Hi Andy, hope you are well. Reading your posts, I was amazed to see the similarities in our situations. I would really appreciate speaking to you. If you're still around, could you send me an email at [email protected]? I am really struggling with my situation and have a few questions. Greatly...

Thanks Laurie. I appreciate it. Everything you say makes sense. My only question/concern that I was hoping (and I am fully aware that this question isn't really answerable, at least with confidence or accuracy) to clear even a little is relating to the perceived atrophy, as that's what has me...

Thanks much for responding Laurie. I was actually hoping you would respond given your breadth of knowledge and being a fellow Seattleite. I believe I can answer your questions. Thanks VM doc did see some fasics in my calves, though when I saw her in January they were not as widespread. She...

I want to keep this thread short as possible- tough to do since my story is long. I have read all stickies and have in fact been lurking on forum for months. I know everyone here my name as creepy as it sounds. I have never felt so deeply empathetic toward a group of people as I now do toward...
