Hello Everyone - I am new to this site and need some advise from anyone who is willing to help. Let me give you a little background of my initial sypmtoms and where I'm at today. It all started back on July 24, 2004 I go real sick with a upper respiratory infection. A few days into it I started...
Per Al's suggestion (Thanks Al :) ), I'm posting this to the General forum to see if there is input from anyone there.
Hi All,
Looking for someplace to get a 3rd objective opinion for my husband who has been diagnosed with PBP/possible ALS.
In you opinion, where is the "best" neurology...

Hi all
Hope you all had happy holidays.
I had my first EMG Nov 7th, which was read as possible ALS. My fasciculations started in my left foot/leg then right foot. I have fasciculations everywhere, but less frequent. I've even had a couple in my face. Anyways, I saw a second neurologist on...

Hi again
I am currently in the middle of a workup for 'possible ALS' (neurologist quote) and I have an abnormal EMG.
I have fasciculations in both legs and upper back. I am now starting to get cramps in both feet, calves, and upper back. I have not noticed any significant weakness...
Replying to various questions-
Symptoms started sometime in 2003 with fasciculations, then weakness in right hand.
My "secret" is probably that I just have something of a slow case. I just learned I have ALS two months ago, up until then I had horrible eating habits and drank lots of...
Hello everyone. I just found this forum and have read a bit and noted that newcomers seemed welcomed. I am facing a possible diagnosis of ALS though have had trouble getting health care providers to even care about giving me any diagnosis or hope of finding the cause of my issues. I have...
Hi All,
I feel as if I've been run over by a truck... I'll tell my story.
Sometime Last July 2004 I woke up one morning, and while stretching my legs, pulled by left calf muscle (So I thought.) I immediatly started walking with a slight limp. September 2004 I was still walking with a limp, so...
