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...

Hello everyone. And a sincere thank you to the PALS who take the time to read and respond to these posts. I've been a reader here for a while, but finally worked up the courage to post. Let me apologize in advance for the length of this post.
My symptoms have been going for about three months...
My symptoms started May 2013 with low back pain,shortness of breath, excess saliva and right limb weakness. I have had three emgs which were six months apart and all of them were abnormal but inconclusive. I am getting weaker and its little frustrating to be in diagnostic limbo. My doctor thinks...
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...

Good evening all -
I have passively monitored this forum for a number of months now, learned a lot, and generally tried not to make too many assumptions. I have also done a lot of research about this disease - mostly driven by the symptoms that I have had for the last few months, but also out...
Hon, the eye symptoms you describe had nothing to do with ALS, so if you are having eye problems get it checked as it will be something else and will be treatable.
It is true that you have as little chance of developing ALS as I have because my husband had it. One person in the family does not...

Hello everyone,
I've been occasionally reading these forums on and off for a while now and I never intended on actually posting here, but since certain thoughts seem to have taken control over my daily life, I'm turning to you for help.
My dad was diagnosed with ALS 2 years ago at 48 years...

For a few months now i have had some swallowing and choking issues. It is painful to swallow and i choke on water as well as foods when eating. I also often feel like food is stuck in my throat after eating. I also have excessive saliva and drool from the corners of my mouth. I also often wake...
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...
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...
