    New Member / Awaiting Diagnosis / MIP Questions

    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...

    Can/Was this be caused by anxiety? Do I need to see a Neuro?

    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...

    Can All These Top ALS Neuros Be Right?

    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...

    The hell that one goes threw before diagnosis.

    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...

    new to the forum - my story

    This is my first post. I apologize in advance for its length. Any feedback would be appreciated... 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...
