    Newbie, fall experience

    Hello, All. I was diagnosed with ALS last month, but I had a couple of very public falls before that and another one a week ago at a crowded restaurant. In that one, a "helpful" person pulled me so far forward (getting up from a booth), that I fell onto my knees -- and once I'm on the ground...

    Another Newbie :)

    Hello everyone, I too have read the stickies and have a question about my symptoms. I must say that muscular dystrophy runs strongly in my family and that while I, at 33, am still fairly young to have onset symptoms, obviously we are not ruling this out. I am awaiting gene testing for this...

    Revised Diagnosis

    Good morning, all! Aside from a quick "Happy Birthday" message to Max a few months ago, the last post I recall is from when I received my "working diagnosis" of PLS in March of 2015. I have had continued follow-up with the Director of our local ALSA Clinic, including a repeat EMG in December...

    New "Go To Top" Button...

    I know, as a Newbie, it's really cheeky of me to make a suggestion, but... A "Go To Top" button at the end of each page would make life easier for PALS, especially for us eye gazers & those with limited hand function. Easy for me to suggest, but admittedly I've no idea how much work is...

    Zero Balance?

    Hi all! I went through some older threads looking for comments about balance (or lack there of) issues. It appeared most balance problems were more minor than mine and most were ALS related. As of yet, I've been diagnosed with PLS. However, I have lost my balance COMPLETELY. I mean I have...
