well sean....welcome and were sorry your here, but we'll be here for you and support you 100%

The thing is, that you fit right in with us. Almost alot of something is messing you up, but the doctors are puzzled. We know the ropes. You should request a muscle biopsy if there are not clear answers. It does hurt, but will give you a clear picture of what's happening with the muscle.

I get my results July 23, and several others here are close to diagnosed day, whatever it is.

hang in there, live with whatever you got! Don't let it live you.

How old are you, where are you from..any kids?

rgds,

jamie

Hi Sean and welcome. If it must be ALS then let's hope you are one of the 10% with a slow-moving variety. Cindy
