I am looking for a general question about ALS and I knew this was the place to come. I have been a visitor to this site for a few years off and on...and have always talked myself out of posting to the forum for fear of being bashed for asking about symptoms..even though I have probably memorized the Sticky about if you think you may have ALS.
ANYWAY, I am 39 years old. My mother died in 1995 of ALS. Every muscle twitch,cramp,weakness and soreness I feel causes anxiety. Our family is not large, my mother did not have brothers or sisters but no one in my grandmother's family or grandfather's family (that we know of) ever died of ALS or anything that would have been similar and not diagnosed.
So, my question...could my mother be the first to have the heredity ALS in which I could inherit this disease?
