    please, please help - losing my mind

    Question re. Neuro-degenerative diseases and family history

    Hi all, I hope that everyone has been able to enjoy the holiday season. I've returned not to question any test results nor to try to be reassured in a situation that clearly does not require it. I am just looking for whether or not anyone happens to have any insight into the heredity aspect...

    Trying to assist

    Hi All, Yes, as I am one of the newer "worry, do have this?" posters on the forum. Apparently you get a massive onslaught of us around the holidays. Guess people decide to research ALS alongside what to buy for Christmas. I wanted to say that I'm also (much more appropriately) on an anxiety...

    Desperate not to be scared anymore!

    Hi All, Been skulking around the forum for two months. As many others have stated, the last thing I want to do is to inadvertantly offend anyone, so please excuse anything in the post that might do that. I have so much admiration for all who are suffering from this disease, as well as the...
