Hello, again, my name is Mario and I previously posted on this forum around October of 2015 about my growing concerns of having ALS. Up until to that point, I hadn't had an emg test to confirm or disconfirm my fears of this disease, and I finally managed to get myself tested on June 29, 2016...

That's why I am...

Hi all,
I've been refraining from posting as I don't want to seem like another hypochondriac that's asking dumb questions. However, due to my symptoms increasing in intensity and spreading to different parts of my body I thought I might as well post and get some feedback as I'm going through...

So, Ive been worried about the possibility that I have ALS. Increasingly extensive research has only reinforced this in my mind. Im 24 and I've been experiencing fasiculations for about 4 months. They arent localized and have been all over with varying intensity (oftentimes the ones in my neck...
