I posted two years ago but was unable to post on that thread but it had been closed.
During the time between then and now for the most part I was able to move on from my fears of ALS. However that has changed recently as I have developed a mild slur, not noticed by normal folks but was...

Hi All, I will not post all my symptoms again as my previous thread, I was just wondering about cramps. They have gotten quite a bit worse in the past 2 weeks or so. Mainly in my left leg. Twitching for 6 months now. Anyone have some insight on cramps? I know I had a normal EMG done on my...
Hello all, some of you may remember I made a post about a month ago concerning my symptoms. That thread is now closed but I will summarize everything here. My concern is that I have been having very concerning symptoms the past 2 months and I am worried about my health. I will break down...
