I am as yet undiagnosed but have many of the symptoms that are leading my neuro to consider ALS. However one thing he is consistent on is that there is no real pain associated with PBP or any bulbar ALS symptoms which does not fit with my presentation. I have pain in my throat and my tongue and...
For those of you who are suffering an illness, are undiagnosed and not sure if you have atrophy or any kind of changes....I looked through hundreds of pictures today, to make a collage for my daughter's 16th birthday, and what I found made me feel much better. I fell upon pictures of myself...
I am completely lost, I don't know what to do. I have an undiagnosed neurological condition and am just getting worse. The worst part of it all is it has really effected my memory thinking etc. My husband works away for twenty days at a time. I don't drive anymore so he fills the house with...
Hello All. I found this forum after doing research today on symptoms that my husband is having. We've been through 2 yrs of hell and no diagnosis (I'll try to be brief). About 2 yrs ago he began having major numbness in his feet. By Aug 2006 his mobility got so bad that he had to give up his...

Hi there
I am a first time poster but a long time lurker. I have finally gotten up the courage to join you. As crazy as it sounds, I was somehow afraid that if I joined the ALS forums, I'd be jinxing myself as it were into getting the final diagnosis - which of course, scares me as much as any...

If another person who is undiagnosed posts(IE myself) post there symptoms and concerns all the rest post words of encouragement. Things like its most likely not ALS, you are OK, etc. But if you back and read there posts, they posted the same concerns and "assume" they have ALS just as much as...
I just want to say that I am thankful for this website, and anyone that can offer some advice for me. I know that this is a very hard disease to have, and I am praying for those that are diagnosed with it. I have many undiagnosed symptoms and am wondering if anyone with ALS had symptoms that...
