    I currently have a probable diagnosis if I understand it all correctly that's the second highest level of diagnosis. My doctors first found my diaphragm to be partially paralyzed in Dec 16 suspecting an injury from a car wreck some years back. After seeing a number of doctors I was sent to a...

    Whirlwind of symptoms

    Hi all. I'm 27 years old and I've had a rough 1.5 months. I know a lot of this sounds nothing like ALS but please bear with me. Around late January, I began having daily headaches for about 2 weeks (I'm not one to ever get headaches). I began to have a lot of brain fog and head pressure at...

    Another scared person

    I have another 6 weeks before I get in to a neuromuscular specialist, so I'd love to have my mind eased (or prepared for the worst?). I am a 41 year old woman. I was diagnosed with SLE (Lupus) a few months ago. Over 4 months ago, I also started having symmetrical severe weakness and near...

    Steve's anxiety over breathing...suggestions?

    This is a question for both PALS and CALS. It is very rare for Steve to talk about his progression and doesn't like to talk about it at all.

    Peg Pain

    I'm a week into having the peg put in...this has been absolute hell. The Drs waited until I reached a certain weight when I think they should have been watching the strength of my core muscles.
