Hello! I haven't been on the forums in quite awhile. Tonight I decided to log on and thought I would share some of what I am feeling, since you know all to well what I am going through. Quick background.. my husband (PALS) was dx'ed Sept 2015, he is currently 40 years old. Since then we have...

Have had a spastic/rigid muscle above the knee for a while now. But now I'm having a problem with foot drop/drag - about two months. Have tripped and actually fallen twice, but most of the time it just causes me to stumble. Went to family doctor - no noted issues, referred to neuro. Took a...

I've flirted with the idea of making an account for weeks now, I’ve been unwilling to feed into my own mounting paranoia, and until now I’ve been avoiding looking into the symptoms at all, but I’ve also found myself in need of community and the presence of those who can help me understand what...

Does anyone here know of an ALS specialist neurologist who works as an expert witness? It did not matter where they are. I'm also interested in learning of any lawsuits that claim certain events or exposures caused/triggered ALS. Even if they were not successful, I would like to know if any such...

We have my husband's wheelchair evaluation coming up. Like everything else we've needed to do, we are entering unknown territory. For those of you who have done this already, is there any advice you can give us?

Hi. I want to share my ALS journey with others to let them know that it is possible to be misdiagnosed with ALS. Since my story spans 8 years, I will try to give a brief synopsis of what cured (yes, I said CURED) me. It started in 2009 when I lost strength in my left hand. It quickly spread to...

First time in a forum! I'm not sure how to start this but... I am the caregiver to my wife and we were diagnosed on June 6th, a month ago. BTW I have been using the royal "WE" when it comes to my wife's health for a while now. Margarite (not her real name) was diagnosed with Crohn's disease in...

Let me preface this by saying how appreciative of any responses I might get. To those on this site affected by als, you are in my prayers every night. You're determination and unwillingness to quit is an inspiration. We lost a good family friend to als and I have a rudementary understanding of...
