sensory symptoms

Hello, First of all, thank you for those that are diligent to post and answer questions on this forum. It appears that many are very helpful. My thoughts are with those that have been diagnosed and those still searching for answers about their conditions. Secondly, I do have a few questions...

I was already expecting the worst, but hearing it officially was like someone punched me in the stomach. My father in law was diagnosed with als today. All the researching and reading and desperately searching for reassurance all this time was all for nothing, as everything I'd read about or...

The wait is just killing me right now and I can't concentrate on anything else. I had a dirty EMG on Tuesday (forearm and triceps showed abnormalities while hand and biceps were completely normal) in my left arm. The nuero suspects that I have a pinch nerve. However, I'm also experiencing...

Hi, everyone, those of you who have read my earlier posts will be familiar with my symptoms and the testing I am undergoing to unearth the cause. As I mentioned, I am having some additional tests over the next few weeks for the possibility of MS, although the neuro noted I do not have sensory...

I'm really scared. Not for me, but for my 79 year old father-in-law, who has had problems with the same leg on and off for years. He's had both circulatory problems as well as nerve pain. 5 years ago was my last time of intense worry, when he was having pain in the leg. They never did figure...

Hi, everyone. I haven't posted in quite a while, but I visit the forums often (especially when my symptoms really bother me). Here's an update ( I guess you can look at old posts for my symptom chronology and a rundown of all of the testing I've had so I won't be longer than necessary!): I...

I had a diagnosis of ALS 5 months ago. Symptoms; Fast Reflexes Fasciculations: Arms, Chest & Legs Muscle wasting and loss of some functions of Hand. Note: I think that the diagnosis was way too quick. After the diagnosis I had an EMG which showed normal nerve conduction ( except...

Hello all, I'm a first time poster (27y, m) from Melbourne, Aus, and would appreciate any feedback. I am pretty sure I have ALS, but haven't been officially diagnosed yet. My symptoms started mid July, when I noticed a burning feeling in my toes. Over the next month this had spread all over...

Hi: I am a 29 year old male, non-smoker, occasional drinker. Excellent health until my symptoms flared up. Last thanksgiving, I woke up with an intense neck pain, exacerbated by moving my head. Symptoms resolved within a week. Now fast forward to mid-May. I started experiencing tingling...
