Just something to read… in the “After 5 Forum Pub”. It took me a few days to put this together. My writing skills aren’t what they used to be. After Spring Break and for the rest of the year our beach bar often reminded me of a Chameleon. It was a side gig I got involved with. From opening...

Well, damn. My local neurologist, after two months of elimination tests, has now indicated likely NMD, with ALS being the most likely candidate. He basically kicked the can down the road and referred me to Dr. Pulley at Jacksonville Shands. We see him in late April for a second EMG and opinion...

Today I had my remaining crown replaced with a temporary. In two weeks I'll go back for the permanent. The last thing I wanted to happen was for a cracked crown to break off when I'm not as mobile as now so I had it done. They had all the info in my chart and there was a new dentist only 28...

Hello I have read all the things I should before posting so please just hear me out as I have done a lot of research.

Hello all, I am sorry to bother you with this, and I promise I did read the sticky. However, I am frightened as hell, and could use some guidance. I am a 29-year-old Caucasian male with no family history of neurological diseases. At some point in December 2018, I started to notice...

Hi All First of all thank you for all of your support and taking the time to answer our questions and helping us understand what to make of our symptoms. My situation started in early January where I was having sharp, pin like pain in my left thigh - I blamed it on exercise at first but now...
