    M29 Fasciculations, perceived finger weakness

    I posted here in 2021 about fasciculations all over my body. I did not have any noticeable weakness at the time. In the ensuing years I have felt fine. Fasciculations continued and I assumed I had BFS and moved on. I’m a little concerned again because I have definite clumsiness in my right...

    Gait belt with feeding tube?

    I have a new home health aide who is a firm believer in the gait belt. She's quite good with it, but it's hard to figure out where to put it -- between breasts and feeding tube? I can cram it in there, if you're patient. I currently have a dangler but am hoping to get Enfit button in a few days...

    Proof that widespread twitching is related to ALS

    I recently came across this article and I'm freaking out now: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11464925 Everything I've read on here says that widespread twitching is not indicative of ALS, but this article states otherwise. The worst part is that I had an emg last year that the neuro...
