    Dirty EMG/FALS after 2 years of BFS?

    Hi, I understand that you're not doctors, and I sincerely appreciate the effort with which you try to answer the posts here while dealing with this terrible disease (as someone who has lost a father to ALS, I'm unfortunately quite familiar with it).

    New Here

    Hi guys, I'm having a tough time. Not yet diagnosed with ALS. I have some habit of being somatic, but don't think this time I am. My symptoms seem to have started all within the past month and honestly I don't think I have a single area not affected. First concerning symptoms was...

    Are these bulbar symptoms

    Hello, I have a question about bulbar onset ? For the past 10 days, off and on through the day (usually when active or excited) the back of my throat feels clenched the more I talk, and I get a lot of post nasal drip the more I talk too. I thought hypernasality, but I tried the mirror challenge...

    Does this sound like ALS?

    Hi, I apologize in advance for how long this is-just want to make sure I don't miss anything. I have had breathing issues for a few months now but thought nothing of it until later. It basically feels like my breathing muscles aren't strong enough and I am not getting enough air. This is...
