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 have been lingering and hanging around this forum for nearly two months, it has been hands down the most informative, comforting and helpful place I have encountered in my journey of "oh my God, do I have ALS?!" I am finally posting because I can't seem to shake this fear and anxiety, no...

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 want to say about 16 month ago I started with excruciating pain in my right hand ( had that for about 4 month). As soon as that pain started I was experience pain in my left index finger, and thumb, like joint pain and nerve pain radiating up my fingers. After this days later, my limbs started...
