Hello everyone!
I am here to ask a question about possible ALS symptoms. My uncle recently noticed that his left arm has been acting strangely. He cant seem to balance things he carries (think like how one carries a pizza box. He makes pizzas and holds boxes with that hand but seems to be...

Hi,
I started a discussion here last September, right after having a mildly (but widespread) dirty EMG. I'm sincerely grateful for the support and encouragement I received from the PALS and other people in this forum, they helped a lot to get me trough a very dark phase of my life. I'm checking...
Hi all. Im a 22 yo male .So my symptoms started 2 years ago. Began with bodywide fasics, countless areas of perceived weakness but mainly in my right thumb. I've been to 4 different doctors and had 2 emg's done and the only abnormality was a spot of "irritation" in my right thumb. However the...

Hi I am a 28 year old RN in Las Vegas. Unfortunately medicine here is not very advanced and we do not have very many specialist. I have been seeing a neurologist for over a month for only 3 blood test for myasthenia gravis and an RNS to be done. My symptoms are seeming to worsen.
