Hello there, I’m Karen, I’m 53.
My problems started a while ago and I have been so confused, upset and angry with doctors since this has all began. I really don’t think I have MND, or maybe I’m in denial but it just doesn’t add up to me. I would really like your opinions and guidance, it would...

Although we had a probable diagnosis a few weeks ago we were waiting to get into our ALS clinic for an official diagnosis from them. It still came as a big blow for my father and our family even though we were expecting it.
My question is his ALS functional scale rating was 46. Is that...
My dad recently passed after a 2 year battle with ALS. I was his only relative, so by default became a caretaker. I spent hundreds of hours on VA benefits and my Dad's wish was for me to help others. I found PVA and DAV in my area to be of very limited help. They basically got me started and...

I know my progression is still in its infancy and I'm yet to be definitively diagnosed. I've had 2 CTs, 2...
Hello,
This is my first time posting and I've only been poking around for a week as it was a week ago that my Neurologist said he thinks I may have PLS. I've only had my symptoms for a year and I know that it can take many more for a definitive diagnosis. With that being said, I'm wondering what...
I'm new here and just got the devastating news that my dad may have pls. He had brain and cervical spine mris, nerve conduction test, and emg. Neurologist is guessing pls as nothing else makes sense. He's referring my dad to another neurologist at uc irvine, dr. Mozzafar who has the equipment to...
