    I have read the stickies

    Hello all, I have read both the stickies and they were immensely supportive. My symptoms match those which both stickies suggest are not indicative of ALS. I would say what first brought me to ALS fear was a twitch in my shoulder just over a year a go now. I entered the dreaded Dr Google and...

    33 Male major anxiety about symptoms

    I have read the stickies, and have tried to hold back, and not ask, because I feel horrible asking people who actually have ALS if my symptoms sound like ALS. My story is kind of long, but I will keep it as short as possible. I have suffered from major anxiety since 2007. I have been on and...
