    Rate of decline?

    Hi all, I'm new to the group and "most likely" (neuros best guess) have PLS. Last year at this time I was still working full time. I was going to the gym on my lunch hour. My office was on the second floor so I was going up and down a flight of stairs twice a day. I was walking around the...

    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. At that point, the neurologist said that fibrillations were detected, and Motor Neuron Disease was “highly...

    Hi from Montreal

    Hi there folks. I've been lurking around here for about two weeks and decided it's about time to say hello. It is a comfort to see this forum and find others who are facing similar challenges. My neurologist has concluded that I have EMG readings that are "suggestive of ALS". This is after...

    Getting worse everyday

    First of all I have read the sticky but I still have the need to get some thoughts on this. It all started with my balance being off. I felt like falling a lot of times. I didn't really pay attention to any of this (I have my thumb being spastic all the time). However, something changed. I was...

    Symptoms concerning

    Hi All. Been lurking here for a while. Originally was reassured by what I read but as my symptoms have progressed, less so. This is somewhat unavoidably long; if you can stick with me, so much appreciated. Off that bat I'll say this: I am a 24-year-old female. I have seen 2 neurologists, ENT...

    Advice Appreciated - My Story

    Last January I tripped and fell while doing a conditioning session on a wrestling mat. I caught my tennis shoe and went down. This was followed by sporadic twitches, buzzing feelings in my feet and a trip to my doctor. In February my doctor gave me a quick look. He had me walk, jump and felt...
