Welcome,
I've been on the forum here some time ago asking about my case. Until now I'm pretty much confident I have Benign Fasciculation Syndrome, Idiopathic Fasciculations, you name it. (I never self-diagnosed ALS though, it was a concern of my neurologist, as I had spontaneous activity...

Hello all,
This is my first post, but I have been lurking for a while, soaking up all the information I can process. Let me tell you, I have learned more on this forum than all other venues available, and I thank you all.
My husband started with foot drop in 2011, then fasciculations and...
Hi everyone,
First of all, I would like to thank those who reply to this post in advance.
I would just like to ask for you help in figuring out if my symptoms are early signs of ALS. About a month ago, I started feeling a sharp, constant pain on my lower back as well as buttocks that was...

Before writing further, I want to note that I have read the Common Concern and getting a diagnosis stickies. I hesitated to even describe my symptoms because several would seem to point in contrary directions from ALS. However, I'm going to post here regardless because (1) some symptoms do...

I have for almost two years an advanced muscular weakness with atrophy in my left leg. The weakness & atrophy evolution have not been linear. I never had muscular cramps but fasciculations.
The diagnosis is an atypical Motor Neuron Disease.
The main atypia are, a level of proteins in the...
Hello All, I would first like to thank you for your time and any responses I may get. I'm honored and humbled to be here. I'd like to preface this post with a disclaimer; I am a well documented hypochondriac. Although this disease is not nearly as traumatic as some of you with motor neuron...

I've flirted with the idea of making an account for weeks now, I’ve been unwilling to feed into my own mounting paranoia, and until now I’ve been avoiding looking into the symptoms at all, but I’ve also found myself in need of community and the presence of those who can help me understand what...

Hello,
Since my dx I've been to three ALS Specialty Clinics. One was strictly for a second opinion and it was out of state.
Two weeks ago the doctor I ended up with (since my diagnosis) told me that the level of pain I was experiencing did NOT happen in ALS and said "pain other than cramping...
