Hello, As I mention in my previous posts, my sister was recently diagnosed with ALS. Initialy she was in denial; now she is very depressed and refuses to get any help. Her initial onset was in her arm; over the last few weeks she started choking on water. In addition she complaints of headaches...

First of all, I want to thank all the people on this forum for taking valuable time out of their lives to listen and offer advice to others. You make a difference and truly are heroes in my books. This is my first post and I would appreciate any comments/thoughts on my situation as I await my...

I saw my neurologist week before last. I had written a previous post about experiencing muscle twitches--pretty widespread, but my hot spots are definitely my lower legs--calves, backs of my ankles and shins. He did reflex testing--everything normal and strength testing as well. Had me walk...

Hey there. so My husband (DX June 08) has some symptoms that are not common with ALS. i was wondering if anyone else has the following: * redness, tingling or burning on face. runs in cycles. on for a few days, clears for a week, then on again. (skin kinds flakes after a flare up) *...

I hope nothing I say will be taken as disrespectful to the many people here with ALS who face very difficult and challenging situations every day. But I need to vent a little, I am very confused and upset about my situation. I was diagnosed with ALS August 4, at the UCLA neuromuscular clinic...

I would like to do an informal Poll and see if there is a discrepancy in the experience of PALS and CALS with the application for SSDI and if it is related to the state in which they reside. We reside in South Dakota and applied over the phone. We received notice of acceptance within 10...

Well i have a new symptom of something, it has happenned 3 times in the last week. The only way I can desribe it wavy vision, like there are waves in my vision, with spots, kind of like when you stare at a light bulb and than look away, but the thing that bother me the most are the waves. I have...

I will try to be brief, but thorough. My husband has been sick for at least 4 years, meaning obviously sick for 4 years. He has been getting progressively worse during that time with shorter periods of worse then better bought on by weather changes or stress or fatigue. The drs suggested...
