    Scared

    I posted a little over a year ago due to concerns about twitching and other symptoms. I had a good clinical and a "normal" EMG back in late December of 2014. My issues started with twitching and other stuff in early September of that year. I had big plans to come here at the year and a half mark...

    First Post - Not Yet Diagnosed

    Mod note: this member's journey has caused much concern among those worried about ALS. It is extremely important to note that his initial clinical exam was very abnormal ( far more so than brisk reflexes alone which can be normal). It was clear from the start that he had upper motor neuron...

    So about 8 months ago i started experiencing muscle weakness in my legs and some pain and fasciculations. I didn't think much of it and thought it was due to overtraining in the gym. A couple of months later after some rest the symptoms didn't subside and spread to my arms and then i started...
