He said it would be very rare a 25 years old male get ALS, but its possible. I have various muscles atrophy in both hands, and still type with no major problems. If its ALS, im pretty sure the ''thing'' is attacking my whole body :(

Hi. I went in specialized ALS clinic and saw the neuro. I have atrophy in both hands, knees, and in some parts. He noted fasciculations and atrophy but not hyperreflexia and weakness.
