To begin with, I have seen a neuro. I have diagnosed IIH (high intracranial pressure) and already had a follow up appointment where I mentioned these new symptoms. I am awaiting CPK levels. About 1 week ago my lip froze. I couldn't move it - it was just my upper lip and it drooped down and...

In another thread I explained that I didn’t think I’d be able to be enough support for my boyfriend who lives with his mom and sister. He and I have been together for 5 years but have been becoming a bit distant since my daughter died 7 months ago. I’ve been needing time to myself . But then...

Just wanted to say Hello, I was diagnosed with ALS in December 2017. My symptoms started with right leg foot drop in October 2016. I use an AFO and walk with a cane. My left leg is showing signs of weakness and will be getting an AFO for my left leg as well, I think. Is it difficult to walk...

Hello Everyone, I got some personal messages about my status and thought of sharing with you. I am still freaking out over ALS by the way, which is not healthy at all... I'm a 39 yr old man who has been experiencing ongoing neurological/muscle issues for the last 10 years. I will summarize...

After a very uncomfortable and painful dental appointment to replace a 40-year old crown today, I decided I need to write another ALS information sheet for dentists. The ALS Awareness Paper would probably not get read and it doesn't really address dentistry and ALS. When I went for a cleaning...

Hello everyone. So a bit of background for me. I had some issues swallowing for over a year. I had an EMG in Oct 2017 that indicated diffuse denervation. I thought it was multiple sclerosis at first, then Kennedy disease then oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy due to wishing it wasn't ALS and...
