Hi i was pointed here by Nikkij . The Introduction link should be top of the page IMHO. I left the Fire service here in the UK aged 50 in 2012 I had enough in my pension pot to get by on and I had a sweating problem, I thought this might be due to job stresses and would clear up when I...

Hello to everyone, this is my first post, after spending a lot of time browsing the forums. It seems like a very supportive place. I've noticed in these groups as well as in the local ALSA support group we go to, that some people are dealing with the stress and demands of a fairly rapid...

Last year about this time, I started feeling like I had ALS. Some twitching, trouble swallowing, feeling weak. The symptoms went away for a while, but now I feel like they are back. I have twitching in both hands sometimes, even when hands are at rest, my hands shake when I lift a heavy pitcher...

Before I ask my question I will give a little background info on my situation. I was injured in the military and have two discs pushing on nerves which causes extreme pain down to left foot. The VA wants to do disc replacement surgery but I have been holding off as long as possible. I was...
