    Increased Anxiety about my ALS Risk

    Ok so I'm a 23 year old male. And I know this thread may seem ridiculous. I have really really tried to not let my anxiety get the best of me and post the typical "Am I getting ALS?" thread, but after several months I've caved. I really hope I'm not offending anyone by sharing my possibly...

    How long does it take?

    Weakness and exhaustion

    Hello Friends: I've been reading this board since January and understand the stickies and also have great admiration for the time and effort you'll spend talking to undiagnosed Joe Blows out here who are just worried out of their minds. That said... In December, I had a strange incident...

    Experiencing my Mom's initial symptoms

    Saliva

    Lately, I've started to have what I think, may be progression. When I lay on my back, it seems that my saliva will roll off my tongue and go sliding down the wrong pipe. I believe this is aspiration? I begin coughing till it's clear. This hasn't happened to me since diagnosis. Also, woke up a...

    Bulbar ALS, do the symptoms match?

    Hello everyone! First of all I'd like to apologize from everyone who has ALS diagnosed. It is not my intention to mock anyone or sound disrespectful. I genuinely wish to get view from people who are experiencing the disease first hand. I'm a 36 year old male and I have to admit that I have...
