I let it go and accepted the diagnosis of fibromyalgia from my rheumatologist and neurologist. Now here we are a few short months later and my PCP wants to send me to another neurologist for...

    33 Male major anxiety about symptoms

    I have read the stickies, and have tried to hold back, and not ask, because I feel horrible asking people who actually have ALS if my symptoms sound like ALS. My story is kind of long, but I will keep it as short as possible. I have suffered from major anxiety since 2007. I have been on and...

    Levels of B Vitamins

    First, I've not started taking IM B-12 yet. I see my doctor again on Monday. My local neurologist has an interest in DNA testing for various things. He doesn't charge for this part of the blood work. He is in favor of my starting IM B-12. I've been taking sub lingual B-12 for awhile so I...
