Hi, first of all - thanks in advance for spending some of your precious your time reading my long story.
I'm 25 and last 3 months of my life was the worst (so far) , fear-ridden time I have ever experienced.
Everything started on the 1st of October with a constant, mild headache with painful...

So I'm not going to pretend I know alot about Als. I know it's something I'm scared of, something I dont want to have.
However I have been experiencing nerve problems. Notably pain in both my arms, wrists and hands. Now I know it could be a lot of things, arthritis and carpul tunnel. I...
I wasn't sure if I would post this at all. After deciding I had no idea where to post it but, for me, it feels like a rant/complaint so here it is.
Since my diagnosis I've always believed that I should take good care of my general health, get some good sun each day possible, get some light...
Hi all,
I’ve been lurking here on and off for a little over a year and have even caved and posted a few threads. I just had my third clean EMG in 12 months. There was a point shortly after the onset of my symptoms where I was convinced I had ALS. I would come home from work and basically take...
Hi, really looking for ideas about what is going on with my mum. It’s along and complicated story so I’ll try to keep it brief!
She’s never been the most healthy of adults. She had a heart attack in her late 40’s, drank too much alcohol and smoked and got little in the way of exercise. She...

Hello everyone,
I decided to post here after days of anxiety and depression. I am a 24 year old female. My symptoms started 2 and 1/2 weeks ago when both of my hands cramped. They kept cramping no matter what I did. I then felt sudden weakness. I went to the emergency where they told me to go...
7 1/2 years its been now. from a slight tingle in her left foot to total paralysis took roughly 2 years. very slow decline since then, really where do you decline to? her breathing is compromised, but O2 levels stay up with nightly use of the bi-pap.
If it was just us, I'd probably suck it...
