    I'm afraid for someone high risk

    I'm really scared. Not for me, but for my 79 year old father-in-law, who has had problems with the same leg on and off for years. He's had both circulatory problems as well as nerve pain. 5 years ago was my last time of intense worry, when he was having pain in the leg. They never did figure...

    Genetic Testing

    I lost my father to ALS three years ago. His sister passed from ALS the year before him. They believed that it could point to Familial ALS. I remeber vaguely in that time someone suggesting submitting to a genetic test for FALS. I seem to remember them saying that even if I wished to remain...

    Do I have ALS?

    Hi! I am fairly certain I have ALS and just need to talk to someone who may have/may be going through the same things because I FEEL this, but no one can SEE it. I am having internal tremors 24 hours a day. My entire body shakes inside, but you can't see it when you look at me. Also, my...

    Private messages

    Has anyone had a private message from: Manczak Georg? I have trying to promote or sell something. The contact with me was unsolicited and I strongly object to this. If anyone had a real cure for ALS or something that would help people with ALS they would not need to contact people affected by...

    Progression too fast

    I don't know where to start... my dad has bulbar symptoms quite advanced and up to now it's all affected him from the waist up. Now he has fallen twice in 2 days and I dread that this means a rapid progression to his legs. I feel so sad and I can't take this philosophically as I have done with...
