Hey all, my background is that I am a 57 year old man with no history of neurological disease in my family other than my mother has Alzheimer's.

Hi,

My grandmother died at age 76 from ALS, and it has given me a lot of anxiety over the past 10 years related to it. I also had a more distant relative (a cousin of my father) who I believe...

So two weeks ago I was home and my finger was twitching. Naturally I panicked and googled and ALS...
Thank you to anyone taking the time to read this and giving me your thoughts and insight. Please know that it is truly appreciated. I have read the stickies, but still have some questions.
I am a 40 year old male. I began with a twitch in my left bicep in early December 2018, but the...
Hello. My husband was diagnosed ALS May 24, 2018 at age 43. It all began in April 2017 when he began having difficulty clipping his nails, left hand onset first. From there it was over a year of testing, specialist, etc, which is the only normal thing I guess about this disease; difficult to...
