Hi everyone,
I haven't posted in a while and thought I would come on and give you a life update. Things had been going really well for me and my family. I went back to school for my Masters in Education and in general starting taking care of myself. Well long story short, I went in for my...
Hello I'm sorry to bother you I'm not sure if you remember me my husband thought he had Als but his emg only showed signs of myopathy. I have let the thought go but yesterday we went to Parkland for a clinical exam with a neuro and we suspected that after seeing the emg they would do a muscle...
I have a closed thread about atrophy in my gastrocnemius.
Here is my story until now.
May of 2017, tore gastroc. At PT they thought it seemed neurologic and their hypothesis was that the tear was secondary to existing atrophy that I had not noticed. My toe taps on the affected leg were...

Does anyone here know if there's a connection with high lactic acid and MND? My doctor is doing another EMG and at that point selecting a muscle to biopsy. I know there are a lot of different diseases associated to high levels of lactic acid and strenuous exercise can cause it as well. I haven't...
So I've tried to stay away from posting on this board, but just received a call from my doctor and it has me absolutely terrified.

About two weeks ago I started to feel weakness in my left hand. It wasn't the type of clinical weakness you read about here, but in doing some back...
Hi all, I sincerely hope I don't insult you by posting here. I have a pretty horrible neurological illness and facing difficulty getting clear diagnosis. I'm not convinced it's als but have thought of PMA.
I have numerous rheumatic autoimmune conditions including sjogrens which has caused severe...
For those who have had a muscle biopsy that confirmed your als diagnosis, can you share? There isn’t much to be found on the web and I am curious about mine.
Here is mine, which I am waiting and fearing the worst with “deinnervation with associated reinnervation.” In addition to this, I...
Hello everyone,
Firstly to all of those living with this terrible disease, god bless you. My uncle was diagnosed with ALS in 2013 and unfortunately passed away last year at age 66.
Firstly I am 27. I suffer from GAD (generalized anxiety disorder.) and OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder.) Last...

Hi everybody
I was diagnosed with motor neuron disease about ten years ago, and since, I’ve been told I don’t have motor neuron disease, and I’ve also been told that I may have a neuropathy, or some form of limb girdle muscular dystrophy.
I’ll try to make this pithy, but it’s a long story, if...
Hello all,
I started twitching almost 11 years ago, in November 2006. Since then, I've had problems with exercise intolerance and exertional weakness-- my muscles will shake or become weak after carrying items or shoveling snow, but I can still walk, talk, button my shirts and live my day to...
