diagnose

Hello, my name is Melissa Hall. I want to just say that my mom Holly Farrell, got diagnose with lou gehrig diseases in September of 2013. And I would like to know what me and the family can do to make her life a bit more happier intill that day comes or if it comes.

Since my post here asking about Bulbar Onset, I've been cleared by my PCP and by a Neurologist. I'm still terrified of ALS, and I very likely shouldn't be. My neurologist explained that a lot of people who suffer from severe anxiety manifest symptoms very similar to ALS/MS/MND/Myopathy/Etc...

Neuro took about 30 seconds to finally diagnose mom. He said that he knew of nothing else that could cause this much decline in this short period of time. Sort of felt relief to finally see it in black and white.

Hello, I am actually posting for my husband that was just diagnosed with ALS. He was diagnosed 7 years ago but when he went for the second opinion at Emory in Atlanta, he was told that there wasn't enough changes from the muscle and nerve biopsy to rule it as ALS. Now 7 years later and here we...

My husband Chris was an incredibly active man who had the attitude of “come on let’s do it!” His attitude to what is important in life struck me early after meeting him, and his desire to jump in and experience everything we could soon swept me along. For most of his working life Chris ran...

Hi: I was accepted in January, 2014, to the Undiagnosed Diseases Program at the National Institute of Health where I got a diagnosis. PLS. This was after 5 years of extensive testing on the outside. My greatest difficulty is walking. I fall less now because I use a rollator. I broke my...
