    Health Anxiety - the scourge of my life.

    Hello to you folks here on the ALS forums, The reason I'm here is two fold. One; a) I have an interest in learning more about ALS and how it works, what it does, etc. Genuine curiosity. b) I suffer from crippling health anxiety(hypochondria) which makes life a living hell sometimes. :(...

    What do you mean with this sentence?

    Hello everybody, I'm Lorenzo 21 years old and from Belgium. Three months ago I start searching for those fasciculations in my body. The first site I found was a ALS site and Wikipedia ofcourse. Can you describe what a fasciculation is or a muscle twitch? I don't think I have fasciculations...

    Progressively scared

    Okay, from what started as a sciatic like pain in my left leg three months ago, I'm left with weakness in that left leg, but not enough that it is useless. The weakness seems to be more in the aductor muscles and hamstring, secondarily in the calf. I feel it when I first get up from a chair or...

    My younger brother just diagnosed with ALS

    Hi All, My younger brother (42) was just diagnosed with ALS, needless to say we are all in shock and searching for info/treatments/answers. There seems to be a lot of "internet voodoo" when it comes to cures/treatments. So I have a few questions, if people would be so kind to answer: He...
