    2 emg's, still not convinced

    Keeping it short, I have three questions. 1. I’ve had two emg’s done by two different neurologists. I didn’t think the first one was done correctly and I’m worried the second one wasn’t either. The second neurologist did the emg at my request because of my ALS worries and also to test the...

    Anxiety? ALS? Long read, sorry!

    First, let me preface this by saying I am 100% a hypochondriac. I constantly think something is wrong with me and even if someone says something jokingly to me (which is how this whole ALS suspicion started) I freak out about it. To be honest, I haven't seen my doctor about these issues yet as...

    Don’t know where to turn, very worrying set of symptoms

    Hi everyone and thanks for taking the time to read my post. I am currently crippled by the fear that my worsening symptoms suggest ALS. For a time I put them down to anxiety but I can no longer accept that explanation as everything just seems too coincidental. It all started in August- I...

    update on me

    I haven't posted in a while so I wanted to update. One of the main reasons I haven't been on here is... I'm writing a book! Or trying to. It has nothing to do with ALS or anything autobiographical. It's a scifi/fantasy romance. I've long been an avid fantasy reader, and always had stories of...

    Still have concerns

    Hi, I apologize for being back but the drs. can’t get to the root of my issues and keep telling me to go back to the neurologist. The Neuros keep saying come back in 6 months. My last visit drs thought I had celiac but now it turns out that was not the issue. Couple of questions if you don’t...
