Hi - I am a 26 year old male. I saw a neuro in September for skin pain, and was given a clean neurological examination. Since then, the skin pain subsided, but I have a pronounced weakness on the right side of my body (beginning in early December). My right arm (especially forearm) and right...

I wrote about my breathing problems before. Well, anyone would get problems with light breathing if they had not peed for three days like I had not. So now I've found myself with overflow incontinence instead. I do not feel the urge to go and pea anymore. So sad. And also I was watching my...

(I forgot what its called) that would indicate NMD or ALS. All waves were positive sharp waves and looked...
