Hello all,
I started twitching almost 11 years ago, in November 2006. Since then, I've had problems with exercise intolerance and exertional weakness-- my muscles will shake or become weak after carrying items or shoveling snow, but I can still walk, talk, button my shirts and live my day to...
7 years with symptoms but no diagnosis?
Hello,
I find myself back here because I want to know if anyone has heard of ALS-like symptoms that go on for a very long period of time.
My first symptom was fasciculations back in the fall of 2006. Soon after, I had exercise intolerance, that would...

Hello everyone,
I hope my friends here are doing well. I stopped coming here because I don't have an ALS diagnosis. But unfortunately, my problems continue and are still slowly getting worse. My muscle fatigue is pronounced, I have lost control of some of the muscles around my mouth, my muscles...
Hey friends—as some of you know, this summer I decided to become more pro-active in figuring out what’s been causing my ongoing neuro and neuromuscular issues. An ALS specialist told me that it wasn’t ALS, an assessment I very happily agreed with, but I was concerned with the fact that my...
Hey folks.
I think I'm posting out of pure confusion and frustration because I have no idea where else to post. Where do you go when your doctors don't know what's wrong with you? When you don't fit any neat or obvious category of diagnosis, but you keep getting worse? I shouldn't post here...

Hello everyone,
I thought I would post an update, as I know there are many of us on the "Do I Have ALS" section of the boards who share similar symptoms that perplex our doctors (and ourselves!) and it's nice to try to help each other in our quest for answers. And sometimes it's just good to...

Hello everyone,
Ever since my "borderline normal" EMG, I have tried to put my symptoms out of my mind as much as possible. The good news is that I am still without debilitating weakness, but unfortunately my symptoms are worse, and I can't ignore their progression. I really want to figure out...
Hello everyone--
I was wondering if you could help me with a question regarding exercise and progression of neuromuscular problems. Recently, I read this statement in a thread:
"Don't do heavy/over exercise now on it leads to further wasting."
Is this true? Does working out actually increase...
Hi everyone--
I recently saw a neuro who specializes in ALS to see if they could help me to interpret my "borderline normal" EMG findings and to check up on my situation.
Summary-- started twitching and cramping almost 3 years ago, abnormal weakness and fatigue associated with exertion 2 1/2...

Hi folks--
I recently went to a hand doctor to take a look at the wasting of my thenar muscle and to discuss my fingers falling asleep at night, as well as my intermittently weak pinkie finger. He saw me very briefly and ordered an EMG to test for ulnar neuropathy. I saw him today and he...
