Hi all,
I've been having some pretty concerning symptoms. A quick background, I'm a 26 y/o male with obstructive sleep apnea that's getting worse over time.

Here's another treatable syndrome to consider if you've got twitches, progressive weakness, swallowing problems, sensory issues, etc. Case #6 was especially interesting to me. From what I've just read on Wikipedia, coeliac disease itself is rare, but certainly more prevalent than MND, and it...

After 18 months of progressive weakness, curling of the hand, atrophy and facsiculations I have now been diagnosed with ALS, the worst part about it was the fact that I was so worried months ago and my neuro said it was mmn and was giving me ivig. I thought I was going for a simple check up and...
Hello Everyone
I'm back on the forum after a few months off while being treated for multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN). Just to briefly recap my history on this forum I was diagnosed with MND in March 2011 and subsequently referred to a second neurologist who was unconvinced by the original...

Hello. I am currently in hospital awaiting diagnosis of my symptoms. Since last October I have had steady progressive weakness in both the legs and arms. I went into hospital in November and it was presumed to be alcoholic neuropathy as I was a heavy drinker. I discharged myself after five days...
