    More ALS concerns

    Thanks everyone for your kind words. Alyoop: I did see a neurologist about two months ago, but at that time, the majority of the concerns I raised with him were caused by anxiety. I think I will try to get another appointment for my own peace of mind. I'm just concerned about my gait change -...

    More ALS concerns

    They're painful in the sense that they seem to be getting worse. The twitching used to be mild and sporadic, but now it's virtually constant, especially in my left leg and more and more in my right. The gait disturbance is something new entirely, and I really have no explanation for that, but it...

    More ALS concerns

    Thanks for that Ms. Pie. I should have added that I have also been having ongoing thyroid issues for the past nine or so months. I have seen a GP regarding my symptoms, and he tends to chalk them up to my thyroid issues and medication changes... this is in conflict with my endocrinologist, who...

    More ALS concerns

    Hey guys, I posted a few months back about my ALS fears/concerns, the majority of which I have since attributed to anxiety because they disappeared. But recently, I have had some fresh worries, so I've got a few more questions. Basically, a few months back (about December 2011) I began...

    Does this sound like ALS?

    Hey guys, I've just got a quick update, and I think it's fair to say that I'm now particularly worried. In the last week or two, I've noticed that I am actually having some swallowing difficulties. Basically, I almost constantly have an oversupply of saliva in my mouth. I try to swallow it...

    swallowing difficulties

    I am actually having some swallowing difficulties of my own. In the last week or two, I've noticed that I almost constantly have an oversupply of saliva in my mouth. I try to swallow it down, but it always seems to return. This makes it uncomfortable for me to talk, because I'm worried that...

    Does this sound like ALS?

    Thanks for your response, notme. My nausea has subsided in the past few days, as has much of my anxiety, but in the last day or two I have encountered fresh difficulties in swallowing. Specifically, it feels like there is something stuck in the back of my throat. Generally, I am able to cough...

    Does this sound like ALS?

    I am aware that I would need a referral to see a neurologist, and that's one of the reasons I plan to return to my GP and endocrinologist in the new year. And Pat, I'm not taking anything specifically for anxiety, only four tablets a day for my thyroid, and 60mg of beta blockers (20 in morning...

    Does this sound like ALS?

    Thanks again for your responses. I obviously don't know for sure that my reflexes are pathologically brisk, but I also know that they have never been like this for me. I have noticed a change, and I will be seeing a doctor next week to have them tested. Nevertheless, I am still very...
