Hi guys,
I posted a few times already here about my mother who has a possible diagnosis of ALS, but seronegative Myasthenia Gravis is also still being considered, but it cannot explain the hyperreflexia of her legs. So they think ALS and MG or maybe cervical radiculopathy. She has atypical...

"The odds of taking curcumin, luteolin, cannabidiol,
azathioprine, copper, glutathione, vitamin D,
and fish oil were higher for cases than for...

Dear PALS, I've had an earlier thread regarding my mother, who's diagnosis is still uncertain. Both Laurie and Karen were very helpful. A short intro:

For the past 18 months, I've been experiencing strange "episodes" of muscle sensations. They usually come on slowly and last for several...
Hi,
First time posting to this forum. Thank you for taking the time to respond.
My main question is: I don't believe that I will be diagnosed with ALS tomorrow. But I dobelieve that I have something, and I do believe that I am getting worse. I don't really know what to do. If my EMG is clean...
