    Could this be ALS?

    Hi all I'm hoping for some input from people who have been through or seen first hand symptoms of ALS and in particular bulbar. Basically for over two months I started with muscle fatigue when walking to work. It was really bizarre as I have never experienced anything like it. I went to my gp...

    ALS Symptoms?

    I'm reaching out because I am very concerned. About 4 months ago I noticed Atrophy in my left hand which is not my dominant hand. It came with some pain. About 3 weeks ago, I had really bad pain in my forearm and arm period(left). I noticed a few days ago that my left arm seems to have muscle...

    Extreme dry mouth?

    Hi all. My PALS is experiencing severe dry mouth that does not go away during the day. He is not taking any medications to decrease secretions. He is not taking antihistamines, etc. He has become a severe mouth breather overnight, in an attempt to get more oxygen. I have purchased Biotine...

    It's not always ALS

    We've discussed this before--the danger of blaming everything on ALS instead of chasing the symptoms. Fatigue is caused by ALS, of course. Ear pain because I got water in my sweeties ears while showering him seems plausible. A dry mouth--those salty ham bisquits, of course. Swollen salivary...

    What to Take for Drooling

    Tom doesn't drool during the day but he does at night. The doctor prescribed meds for him but he won't take them because he doesn't like the dry mouth, lips and eyeballs feeling. Says it's worse than the drooling. Anyone take anything that helps with drooling without making other things dry?

I haven't had a day in the past 11 months where I'm not experiencing one or multiple of the following symptoms daily (sometimes all the symptoms throughout a given...

    Work up or stop worrying?

    So, here's my story. In the last couple of months, maybe a bit longer, I've had some strange symptoms. Some of them coincide with the start of a new medication in clinical trails for binge eating disorder, specifically a Norepinephrine-Dopamine Reuptake Inhibitor (NDRI). Some of them occurred...

    Newly diagnosed and devasted

    Hi everyone, I am newly diagnosed (12-29-15) with ALS. Since my dx, I've been devastated. My mom passed away in August and I was in a pretty deep depression over that when I got my dx a couple month later. I feel like I was hit over the head with a sledgehammer, and that wasn't enough so I...

    Sudden Bulbar symptoms?

    Hi, I have had a lot of strange health stuff going on for 6 months, episodes of racing heart, feeling very unwell, been tested for just about everything and everything normal. MS and ALS became concerns recently when numbness and tingling and limb weakness started to play into it. I had on...

    Suction machine is weak?

    My PALS (bulbar palsy, PEG, no food or drink by mouth) got his Devilbiss suction machine a few months ago, tried it a couple of times and decided spitting was more efficient. He's been spitting/wiping ever since and struggling with thick, pasty phlegm however he can. We had the technician come...
