do i have als

First of all I will state I am extreme hypochondriac. Ever since my uncle passed of bone cancer 10 years ago. About 9 months ago I noticed one of my legs had a strange feeling like a tightness so I wore tommy copper sleeve and it kinda helped for a month and then the other side became...

I would like to start of by saying I did read the stickies and I am aware of the difference between clinical weakness and perceived weakness. For the last 6 months I'd say it all started when I realized that walking down the stairs, my legs were very shaky for some reason. Also, when waking up...

I've only ever written here in a state of panic. This time it's different. This forum, and the pinned post 'Do I have ALS?', have made me realize the anxiety that I have over inheriting FALS. I found the post last time i was wrapped up in fear, and it made me realize that anxiety was the...

When I first got on this site, I read the posts on the, "Do I have ALS?". I found that reading these posts made me angry because most have symptoms that could be other illnesses or nothing to really worry about. There is a lot with anxiety issues. These people have a right to post on this...

I know a lot of people have it a lot worse than me (and I'm sorry to hear it) but I just need reassurance or just someone to tell me what they think. I'm generally worried about myself, and this is my last resort to getting at least a little bit of comfort. I'm 16, male, with no known family...

Hi, I'm a 34 y/o male. For about a year now, I've noticed I haven't been able to lift as much as I used to, despite good nutrition and consistent effort. About a month and a half ago, I started experiencing awful fatigue. About a month ago, my legs and arms started having awful tightness...
