It’s over 12 months since I first suspected ALS and went down a google rabbit hole. It’s 8 months since I went to my first Neuro appointment and 2 months since my 2nd visit.

Good afternoon I have been having some horrible symptoms that point to ALS and, having read and observed this forum over the last few weeks and tried hard not to register, I’ve caved as I’m frantic with worry I started in April with tight cramping hamstrings - they would go into spasm every so...
