I was having some ALS fears again this last week. A lot of fasciculations, overall muscle weakness, and denting in my calf (same as before thought I believe). I just wanted to let you know this message you sent me almost 4 years ago really relaxed me tonight! If this much time has passed then I...

I sure do miss the old days when this thread belonged to me! Hope everyone is doing well. I know it can be stressful wondering if you have something wrong with you, but I just want to encourage everyone to hang in there. See your doctor if you are concerned, it will be the only thing to give you...

Thanks for the responses. I have learned through all of this that the WORST thing I can do is obsess over it. I am living life to the fullest! I am a cancer survivor and I learned through that to enjoy my life as much as possible. This just reminded me to continue to do that, but push to enjoy...

...also I just want to add this. I know if my symptoms are NOT consistent with ALS (which they don't appear to be) that this can be frustrating for members of this forum with ALS. With the support I have been given through this forum during my process I should be able to assist others in the...

Thanks "notme" I appreciate your response. Your brutal honesty puts smile on my face lol. I am not seeing any twitching of the muscles when my calf muscle is flexed/stretched/contracted either. Maybe BFS is where is this headed. I am in the Orlando area so if you ever want a friend for support...

Thanks again to everyone for answering my questions. I tried to make an appointment with a neuro today but do not have insurance (due to my pre-existing cancer) so I was not able to find any in Orlando who would see me. :( I am going to see my oncologist next week, hopefully he will shed some...

I have some new information. I was told my blood work came back with normal levels of magnesium, calcium, and potassium. I am now convinced that this may be ALS again. Here are all my symptoms: - Non-stop fasciculations in calf muscles. (3 months, 1 week) - Lump in throat. Can feel it when...

Ok, so today I visited my doctor after four anxious days of waiting. He examined me, and I told him about my history and symptoms. I told him my fear of ALS and how anxious and scared I was. He told me that he did not think this was ALS. I asked him how confident he was and he said "I believe...
