    I am a 30 year old male with odd symptoms. I currently have body wide muscle twitching but it's mostly in my calves. This has been going on for about 4 months now.

    What makes your fasciculations worse?

    Whirlwind of symptoms

    Hi all. I'm 27 years old and I've had a rough 1.5 months. I know a lot of this sounds nothing like ALS but please bear with me. Around late January, I began having daily headaches for about 2 weeks (I'm not one to ever get headaches). I began to have a lot of brain fog and head pressure at...

I really really really don't want to show any disrespect by posting about my concerns and I hope no offense is taken by anyone who has or know someone...

Shortly after her DX I started experiencing whole body fasciculations. I told my Dr about it and my mom's DX. He did a simple reflex and strength...

    Any help would be very much appreciated!

    First off, Happy Memorial Day! A HUGE thanks to those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country! Let me preface by admitting that I have discovered that I am a huge hypochondriac. I was sick with a upper respiratory spell for a few weeks. Sore throat, terrible coughing, etc...All...

    Back again - is this PMA or something else

    Hi all Didn't think I would be back on here but I just can't explain my progressive muscle atrophy on my hands. I read somewhere that first signs of PMA is the hand flattening and thinning out with loss of muscle fibres around fingers. My hands look totally different from a year ago when I...
