    "Upper Motor Neuron Lesion" as my DX - anyone with this?

    This is my first time posting here. I have lurked around and could not find any threads talking about this so I thought I will post. If it is clear that I am not in an ALS / PLS or related category, I will be on my way. Is anyone aware of a diagnosis that started out this way? Yours or that...

    Newly diagnosed and devasted

    Hi everyone, I am newly diagnosed (12-29-15) with ALS. Since my dx, I've been devastated. My mom passed away in August and I was in a pretty deep depression over that when I got my dx a couple month later. I feel like I was hit over the head with a sledgehammer, and that wasn't enough so I...
