I was diagnosed with ALS in Oct 2013 after experiencing difficulty lifting my right ring finger. It is now eight months later and my main symptoms are further weakness in my hands and arms. My neurologist recently mentioned that men who are diagnosed with ALS in their early 60's and have mostly symptoms in their hands and arms will deteriorate on a relatively slow trajectory, which he called the "bibrachial variant" of ALS. I am hoping to establish an ALS Bibrachial Variant discussion to help those of us who have this variant learn more about what to expect and how to prepare for the future.
