depression

I'm 53 male and have pretty much stressed myself into a mighty big mess about bulbar fears. All this started in Dec 2012 with calf cramps and calf twitching. This continued for another month, the cramping stopped but the twitching continued. By about March 2013 the twitching was pretty much...

Its been a long time since been here. Guess you can say I have been preoccupied. Last January in 2013 my mother asked I help her - Mom has ALS. She said my father (who never cooked or cleaned before) could not help much, and he is in his 80's. So, with my husbands blessing, I traveled from...

Please forgive me everyone, I've never done this before. So I'm not sure where to start... I guess I should first introduce myself, my name is Karen, but everyone calls me Sissy, my husbands name is Ronnie, and he was diagnosed with ALS in sept. 2012. He is 49, I am 37. Ok, that's a start... I...

Well I have a feeling this is going to be a little long...sorry.....anyway I had a brother that was adopted out so I never really knew him....decided to try and find him later in life and did and found out he died from ALS....well being the worry wart I am that kinda freaked me out.....6 months...

I have read the sticky's and they were very informative and helped me but....I have had a very rapid onset of symptoms. I first noticed them while driving home from visting family over the holidays I had tingling in my fingers which after a few days spread to my hands. Then on Jan 6th I woke up...

I am not sure how to start a thread so I am praying someone can help me with some advice! Please respond. My symptoms started 5 years ago with a tongue twitch I could feel and scalloped tongue..upon exam I do have what appears to be some atrophy in my hands and ankles. I also had bodywide...

My husband was diagnosed the end of last summer. His is very fast moving, sept he was walking Dec he wasn't . He has no use of his hands and has very little speech left. He refuses to see a doctor since our last visit to a clinic in dec.. I think he doesn't want to hear bad news...like he lost...

Dear All, maybe I am not writing in the right topic... maybe this should go in the DIHALS topic. This is my hopeless scream on the internet, for strangers. I should be the caregiver of my mother, but I am not... This is the story of our family (with some off-topic, not ALS-related threads)...

Hi, I wrote only once before and was reassured...but almost a month has passed and I know something is wrong. I had waited a month to see a Neurologist and just seen one and am not happy at all with the lack of concern. She was very nice, but very young and she did not do any physical...
