My name is Marissa and I am a 24 year old single mother. In July of 2012 I had an odd experience with sudden right side numbness and weakness. I went to the ER and after a CAT-scan they found nothing and attributed it to a possible pinched nerve and referred me to a neurologist. I was never able...

Hello, I had been experiencing some symptoms and visited my neurologist today. He was non-committal about what my problems could be. He stated it could be something neurological that is very treatable to something a lot worse. When I asked him what that "worse" would be, he indicated ALS "but...

First of all, Kudos to everybody on this website. I would like to share my symptoms and hopefully you guys could enlighten me on my condition. I'll try my best to be very detailed as possible 1.) Symptoms start on 07/19/2012. Visible twitching on left biceps area. Went on for a couple of days...

New here, have been lurking for about a year, however. 38 year old male, no health problems prior to the one I'm going through at the moment: My symptoms started as weakness during long typing sessions in Dec 2010, and until Jun 2011 presented as something you would expect in CTS (wrist drop...

I'm a 56 year old M.D. 2 months ago, my wife, also 56, noticed a fasciculation in her thumb which has progressed to bilateral calf, foot, buttock, and to a lesser degree, abdominal twitches with some calf cramping. No weakness. Neurologist was not impressed, no EMG done. About 6 weeks after...

I've read the stickies, and understand that you all are going to tell me to go to a doctor, however I don't have that option. I am a 16 year old male, poor diet, slightly overweight, never exercise, sit all day, and my sleep pattern is anywhere from 5 to 12 hours. For around a year or so, I...

I have been reading this site, and I dont want to be one of those ones that gets reassurance they dont have ALS just to keep making new threads and bombarding you all with a litany of questions. I know that has to be annoying. I have been trying to read about my symptoms and if they fit before...

I had the Diaphragm Pacing System (DPS) implanted on Wednesday April 11 and I thought I would share my experiences here for those who are interested. While researching for my own decision I soaked up everything I could find here and elsewhere on Al Gore's invention but I still wished there was...

I am a 45 year old mother of two girls and all of my symptoms just started out of the blue mid January 2012 and have been getting worse. It started as joint pain (elbows,wrists,knees and ankles) and a burning pain from elbows to wrists and in calves as well as occasional mid upper back pain...

So went in mid January to get my PEG put in, only to wake up in recovery with no tube in me. I was like "Didn't you guys forget something?" They were not able to find a good sight using the PEG procedure with scope down to the stomach. So last Thursday went back in and had a tube installed by...
