So, Ive been worried about the possibility that I have ALS. Increasingly extensive research has only reinforced this in my mind. Im 24 and I've been experiencing fasiculations for about 4 months. They arent localized and have been all over with varying intensity (oftentimes the ones in my neck...

Advice please - My husband doesn't have a peg and doesn't want one. He didn't do a lot of research on what to expect when diagnosed with als but knew he didn't want many interventions. He did agree to the trilogy when it came time to have it and is pretty compliant about most things.

I am just curious if this sounds like FTD? I heard ALS causes FTD. My symptoms are that I tongue tie words more frequently, like Rear Wheel drive comes out like Real Wheer and then I have to correct it. Also like elbow joint came out like elboy joint today. Stuff like that, just more frequently...

So today my sister had a 'conversation' with my (non-speaking bulbar onset) father, and he finally said it explicitly. He doesn't want a feeding tube, and that's that.
He chokes on food almost daily even though he of course tries to be super careful while he eats and eating takes most of his...

It all started about 1 year back when he started complaining about trouble in grasping small objects/ starting car with keys and holding spoons.
EMG/NCS confirmed there is a motor nerve problem in...

My mother had ALS. Onset was in her mid to late 40s and she died at 55 in February this year. She only has one brother (67, living) with no history...

Early this morning I had a really intense synesthesia experience. Years ago I would get these when hearing or playing music, I would see colors and textures.. somewhat muted unless I was very relaxed. This morning the colors were vibrant and intense and very glossy. Lots of blues, greens and...
I recently visited my sister, who has had ALS since last December, and I was shocked at the progression over the two-month period since I last saw her. She can no longer walk or talk, her hands are clawed, and her dementia seems to be advancing, but her weight loss seemed especially alarming...
