atrophy

Hello everyone! This ended up being a very long post so I I'm going to put a tldr at the end for those of you with limited energy. This is my first post here and as a c9 carrier I will likely be lurking around for a while as it is the most comfort I have found so far. I want to say thank you...

Hi everyone. First time poster, I first want to thank all of you for what you do on this site. Truly inspirational. I will be brief. My symptoms are twitches mostly in left calf ( about a month now) but sporadically other places ( all over). I have no clinical weakness that I can discern...

Thank you to everyone on here who donates their precious time to answering questions from strangers on the internet. I’ve read the stickies, and a significant amount of posts on here (and am moved by your patience and compassion). My question is: in your collective experience, whether personal...

Hello, I've been reading this forum for a few weeks now and I've held back from posting my symptoms but it seems to be progressing so I'm more anxious. I'm 28 year old male and I'm extremely worried that I might have early symptoms of Bulbar or Limb onset ALS. It all started about 7 months ago...
