    Boyfriend recently diagnosed

    Hi, my boyfriend of only two months was recently diagnosed. We have been getting very close and I feel that he is a man I could spend the rest of my life with. He has suggested that perhaps we should stop seeing each other as it wouldn't be fair for me to be tied down to someone with ALS. Can...

    Preliminary Diagnosis - but clean EMG

    Since January my boyfriend has been struggling with some symptoms that appear to be ALS in some regards but in other ways we think it certainly is not. He had an EMG in August which clearly states no sign of motor neuron disease. We were relieved. We have had multiple referrals which led us to...

    HELP! Dr. says ALS “Highly likely”

    I am terrified. My boyfriend has had fasciculations all over his body for two years. He went to a neurologist recently, who said he tested weak in his hand. He went back for EMG and NCS.

    When I wrote my very first post about my 55 yo friend’s AFO situation a few months ago, in addition to getting information, I received some very nice “gentle reminders” that basically said to butt out—I was reminded that how the situation was handled was up to my friend and her boyfriend. But I...
