Hey Guys
I've been trying to refrain about posting here about my ongoing issues but really have nowhere else to turn other than the experts that live with this neuro crap daily.
Here's what's going on:
Falls: I'm losing my balance and falling--too much. Twice this week alone. My legs just...
Hello. I am 22 years old and I am nearly certain I have ALS. I know the statistics, but that alone is apparently not enough to put me at ease. If it were, I wouldn't have come here. I am hoping someone on here will talk some sense into me. Here goes:

My husband has been diagnosed with ALS - this past month. He has both bulbar and limb onset. The bulbar symptoms are the worst...The panic in his eyes when he is choking is just awful. We are trying to do the best we can in coping with the Wicked Step Sister that has moved in and is trying to...
Hello all - I've been browsing your forum for the last few days now and I am more than impressed by the volunteering of information especially personal experiences. I want to say god bless you all and thank you for helping those in a time of worry and need.
I guess I will start out with a...
All I want to do is cry. My husband of 39 ½ years has been diagnosed with ALS. I don’t understand how this could happen to a person who had absolutely no health issues and was extremely active. Throughout 2010 I kept telling my husband he was losing muscle mass. His whole body was shrinking...

Greetings everyone. I could really use a kind soul for some words of advice or even perhaps reassurance. I've been absolutely terrified this past week over symptoms I continue to keep having. I apologize for how long this might be in advance.
I guess I should preface everything by saying that a...
Quick version:
He got the trach this morning but they neglected to hook him up to a vent
which he wanted but left him gasping for air after the procedure and terrified. Finally got the vent hooked up, now he is on sedation and sleeping; has some blood in his lungs from the procedure, that they...

Hi, Haven't posted in awhile. Moved my brother to my state a few weeks ago. He was
already diagonosed, and already in a wheelchair. He can only move his left hand a little
(and uses the computer with it) and he can still speak and eat.
He has been having increased trouble breathing in the...

Once again: thanks to everyone for your responses. I majorly appreciate each one, so—thank you!
Just a quick update: I spoke to my neurologist today; I explained my left hand clumsiness and the facial symptoms I've been experiencing. I now have a brain and cervical spine MRI scheduled for the...
Hi everyone.
Thanks for taking the time to read this (I know this might be lengthy). Needless to say (but I’ll say it anyway) I’ve some recurring (and rather relentless) concerns over ALS/MND.
Let me begin with explaining the progression of my symptoms.
I’m a 24 year old male, and about...
