    Looking for insight.

    Hello everyone. I’m a 30 year old female and would love to get some feedback from people with more knowledge of these things than myself. So this all began at the beginning December. I noticed my hands would go limp for a second and then be fine. I googled and googled and figured maybe it was...

    Clean Clinical Exam.. Now Gait Abnormality

    Gait Abnormality.. Is this Foot Drop? I will keep this as short as possible out of respect for those reading. I have had fasciculations in right hand starting in December, went away for a while, then came back in January and moved to left hand, arch of right foot. Twitching spread everywhere...

    I don’t have ALS

    I was dealing with some pretty bad health anxiety this past week, of course after watching the VICE news piece on ALS and an HBO movie called “Jenifer.” I’m very sure I don’t have it now because I’ve only been experiencing a feeling of weakness, primarily in the hands, that sometimes is felt in...

    Diagnosis question, thank you.

    Hello. Thank-you all for taking the time to read this. I've posted on here before over the past year or so (I think that's the timeframe) but noticed that my threads have been closed so have started a new thread. I hope that is okay. Very briefly, I have a history of some symptoms that look...

    Sensory symptoms?

    Hi, I have supposed "probable ALS". But I have some weird symptoms that the doc dismisses so quickly, and I wonder if anyone else has experienced anything like them. When I shower and shampoo, about a minute after towel drying, I get horrendous itching of the scalp and palms of my hands. It...

    Possible symptoms?

    Before writing further, I want to note that I have read the Common Concern and getting a diagnosis stickies. I hesitated to even describe my symptoms because several would seem to point in contrary directions from ALS. However, I'm going to post here regardless because (1) some symptoms do...
