Hi Everyone!
I have been wanting to post on here for a long time and I am just going to do it! This post is intended for the individuals looking for an answer and who have NOT been diagnosed with ALS by a doctor.
Over 2 years ago I experienced some very disturbing symptoms that ultimately...
Hi everyone. I'm posting again because since my July 27 Mayo visit, I have gotten worse. Mayo saw me just 2 months into symptoms. I had blood tests, and an EMG on just one side of my body (the "worse" side). I was told no ALS, no MND, etc. However, I did not get answers for my issues...
So - spent the last 2 days at Mayo. Many blood tests were done, as well as emg/nc tests and clinicals.
First day, dr. said my reflexes were all normal, maybe even a little reduced in the arms. Not hyper at all. He couldn't see any big atrophy differences.
Yesterday's Emg was done on my...
Hi everyone,
I did go in and see my neuro today regarding all my rude symptoms. I let him know my weakness has greatly increased and I'm having a lot of pain in the atrophied foot. He did a quick check of reflexes (said they were ok, yet my feet did nothing with the Babinksi AS usual), said...

HI Everyone,
I had my EMG last week. Since I've last posted, my fasciculations have continued and my right foot/ankle and especially right hand have REALLY started to atrophy. My hand/wrist look like Skeletor with the tendons/bones sticking out, and there are little dips in the wrist. Also...
Hi Everyone,
I posted the other day with some of my symptoms and fears of ALS. Again, I am so impressed with everyone dealing with ALS on this website, and the caregivers, and your ability to "go on" in spite of what is happening.
Basically, I'm just scared. I mentioned some of my symptoms...
Hi Everyone,
I'm so scared to post on here because it makes my symptoms "real". Until one month ago, I was a healthy 36 year old married mom of three boys. Suddenly, I felt sick one day and had diarrhea and just an overall "fatigue", nausea, ill feeling. I lost 9 lbs. in about 2 weeks. I was...
