Hello and thanks to anyone who may read and take a moment to offer advice. Short summary of where I'm at (34 year old female): I'm about 7 months into my 'symptoms.' They began with an overall perceived weak feeling left side of body with trouble in small motor activities and developed tremor...

Hello everyone, I am 27 years old male and new to this forum. First of all, I appreciate the way PALS are helping people who are concerned or affected with ALS, despite their daily struggle. Secondly, I found this section of the forum to discuss with my symptoms, though I am aware that nobody...
