    VA benefits for ex-U.S. service members; three questions

    I've not posted in about two months because little has changed in my case. No news is good news, and I'm thankful for that. But I'm trying to prepare for what I can, and have some questions related to VA benefits for ex-US servicemen. First, some background info that is relevant to my...

    Questions about progression of this disease

    Once again, I find myself unable to briefly summarize my situation. Feel free to skip to my questions at the end of this long post. You've all probably read hundreds of desperate histories like mine. I do not have a formal diagnosis, but two neurologists have now told me that they suspect...

    My partner has both upper and lower motor neuron symptoms, and has correctly been diagnosed with MND/ALS. Last week we attended a specialist clinic (we go every 4 months) and in the notes that followed I noticed that his Babinski/plantar reflex is still normal (absent), that is downward...

    Hi, I was hoping some of you might be able to provide some insight for me concerning my husband's situation. He is 28 years old and has been having fasciculations for about 3 years now. Originally, we assumed they were benign. However, 2 years ago he started experiencing mild weakness in his...

    Is a Babinski's sign always present in PLS?

    I was reading that Babinski's sign is one element of a PLS diagnosis. Is it always present in PLS? I don't think they found this sign in me when it was last done. Would that rule out a possibility of PLS? Paul

    Could it be...?

    A week ago(exactly, Firday-Friday), I awoke on the reclining couch(usually sleep in my bed, but my CRT monitor had issued a potent burning smell, after which I immediately high-tailed it out of there and plugged the room at the bottom crack of the door, leaving the window open (turned AC off, of...

    Yet another person afraid of ALS

    Hi, I'm a 26-year-old male, 6'1", 180 lbs., who a month and a half ago noticed a twitch on my left bicep and tricep. I thought it was odd since of course I had twitches before but it was frequent enough to notice. From then to now I've noticed a slow progression of twitching - the next was my...
