    Definite Diagnosis

    I received my official diagnosis of ALS on 12/16/16. I knew in my mind that I had it, but was continuing to hope and pray for an alternate diagnosis. I've had some minor progression in my speech articulation and some vocal quality (raspy) changes in addition to EMG findings on my tongue and...
