My arms are positively embarrassing. It happened overnight... Anyone else have dry skin - I know its nothing compared to the falls, insomnia, real symptoms but YuCk!

OK so for the past 2 years my husband has been going through the hell. It all started with weakness in his legs that over time caused pain which made it worse. He know just has the feeling he says of having to remind his legs to walk when he first stands up or gets out of the car. At work he...
Let me begin by saying how much I respect and empathize with this horrible battle that each of you are going through. None of you deserves it, and I know there is little I can say that will help, but my heart is with each of you, for whatever it is worth. I have not been diagnosed, but it is...

To begin I'm currently 21 years old, and about two & 1/2 weeks ago I was hit with a huge surge of anxiety and depression over some life issues that really weren't a big deal. I'm normally massively anxious/manic and almost am never depressed, when I'm not anxious I'm extremely happy.
Anyway to...

First of all I admire all of you that actually do have an ALS diagnosis. My hat is off to you. It must take true courage to face the challenges you do every day.

I saw an ALS neuro at Cedars Sinai last week. He said the exam was completely normal, with no UMN or LMN signs (I have brisk knees and atrophy... but he said normal). He said that even though I had two normal EMGs followed by three abnormal ones (large motor units), he is 99% sure I don't have...
I was wondering what patients do before they get diagnosis. Isn't it hell? I mean there are so many other things that mimic ALS and it must cost a lot of money how do people get a diagnosis? I've spent my entire life savings and lost all my family and friends. I have nothing to live for these...

I'm 41 and have been a runner my whole life. This summer, I noticed that I was having to stop in the middle of runs to re-stretch my calves. Other than that, I felt fine. I just chalked it up...
