Jwilli, it's not clear if you understand the purpose of this forum, nor if you've fully read the link provided you a couple times. This forum exists to provide support for those who have been diagnosed with ALS and their caregivers. The link provides in depth information and answers the questions that bring people to this forum when they worry they have ALS. This forum is NOT a replacement for proper medical care, nor can it be used to help folk through their anxiety once their basic questions have been answered. It's simply beyond the scope of the members here to provide an anxiety and general medical resource to people who are fixated on a disease they have not been diagnosed with.

If you are provided test results that indicate MND is a real possibility, you may post again. Until then, please don't post. This thread is now closed and any further questions must be directed to your actual medical care provider.
