    Slurred Speech

    Hello All, I am new to the forum and would like to talk about my symptom that I had last night. I had worried about ALS a few years ago and thought that I wouldn't do it anymore. I don't know if it's just all the research I did that made things bad for me. I feel very foolish posting in this...

    19 year old male worried about ALS

    So I know that ALS is rare in a 19 year old but here is my story. So I'm a pretty healthy guy up until I started having these weird symptoms. I was in the kitchen stirring up some pancake mix when I noticed moderate weakness and fatigue in my arms. I went to a neurologist when all of this...
