Greetings All: I've found a new therapist and really made a nice connection with Her and have been going weekly for a few months now.. 2 days ago at my session we talked about Liz ( my late wife and Pals ) and My now Fiancé. It felt rather constructive and good at the time..But not long after...

Dear all, I will try to make my story as short as possible. I am 49 years old male, finance manager. Two years ago I started to notice problems with walking and went to see my MD. He sent me to a neurologist who found that I have hyperreflexia, babinski on left leg, foot clonus, made brain...

Hello, First I want to thank everyone for their time to even reading this post. I can only imagine how annoying/frustrating it must be to deal with people like me. I guess I'll start with a background: I am a 20 yr old male (I know a bit young and I have an incredibly small chance) who is a...

Hello, I am new to this forum, and wound up here after experiencing another symptom that I have recently had in a list of others to keep pointing me to ALS... I am currently un-diagnosed, but have started clinical testing. I'm hesitant to continue because I personally can no longer afford the...

I'm very stoked because I just received notice from the court that I beat my traffic ticket. Last year I was pulled over for speeding after my PALS' nurse called me and told me I was needed at home ASAP. I told the cop it was a medical emergency, and he glibly asked me if I wanted him to call...
