Hi everyone. I've been having a lot of muscle twitches mostly in my calf areas and thighs but all over as well. Also my left calf feels weaker than my right even though I can still walk around on my tip toes and heels on both feet.
Another thing I noticed is that it is difficult to straighten...
Hello ALS Community,
Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
I am curious if this description resonates with any of you:
I am in the process of being worked up for possible ALS (EMG study in a week). My neurologist is suspicious of ALS, but is also considering other possible causes of...
I posted at the beginning of January however my thread was closed which is why I have opened this thread. Since I was explaining my story in depth I already felt that my lengthy explanation was enough for people to have to get through without me attaching photos too.
However, I briefly...
Hello,
I am writing to you to ask for help understanding the last report from my father's neurologist. He is 60 year-old men who was previously diagnosed with PLS (three years of symptoms). I am interested in knowing if the new report suggests to you that the diagnosis might change to ALS. I...

Hello. I want to first say thank you for any information or insight you may be able to give me. I also wanted to say that my thoughts are with you all that have been affected by this disease.
I am concerned due to a few reasons.
About a week ago, I noticed something was "off" with my left foot...
Hi, long story, so bear with me.
About 6 months ago I had an unexplained weight loss of about 30 pounds in about a month. I chalked it up to anxiety induced weight loss as I was dealing with some very stressful situations in life at the time and didn't think much of it.
About 4 months ago I...
