Ignore if you must. I know you guys receive a lot of these and you guys obviously cannot diagnose me, I'm just concerned. For the past few weeks I've been noticing something with my voice. It's getting harder to yell and sing. I've also been having this constant feeling of something caught in my...

Hello everyone, I am from Vietnam.
My father 63 years old, was diagnosed ALS 4 months ago.
Unfortunately I (33) have symptoms same with my father: such as muscle twitching, feel weak and numb at left hand and leg for 2 months. I think about genetics and I had visited some hospital in Vietnam...

Basically, my symptoms seem to be weakness in both arms mainly from my elbow to my shoulder, the...

My husband, the love of my life was diagnosed with the slow moving ALS 2 months ago. I have been freaking out and crying and a complete mess. I think I am sort of in control now. He has remained in control the whole time and says that he can’t afford to break down since he does not know how...
