I am a 32 year old male who's been worried I have ALS. I am here because my fears and research keep contradicting themselves. I wanted to ask real people who know. I have been experiencing very frequent muscle twitches (legs and arms) but I've maintained muscle mass and in fact gained so I...

Let me start by saying I really hope you all tell me it's all in my head. I've read the sticky thread but I'm still unsure, so please bear with me while I ask for experienced opinions. A little background. A couple years before I was born (I'm 34 now), my paternal Grandmother and uncle (her...

Bob had only been diagnosed about 1 month before Easter. He woke up that morning and decided to go to a flea market, saying that he didn’t know how many more he would be able to do. I cancelled Easter plans with my family so I could go with him. I’m so very thankful that I did. We had no way...
