My name is Patrick and I'm a 25 year old male in the UK. I feel quite certain that I have ALS and I was wondering if anyone had any kind advice to offer. Apologies for the long post but I feel like the onset of symptoms has been quite odd and perhaps worth sharing.
The story starts six weeks...

I do not have to explain to any of you how much living with a spouse with ALS SUCKS! I am so very tired! I am sick of putting on this brave face! I am pretty fed up with my husband and his demands! I DO NOT want to be responsible for every little detail of our lives. Paying bills, lawn work...
Good afternoon, I have a specific question which I'm hoping you can help me with. I've read many posts, etc. and sometimes they are "in line" and then sometimes you get a variation from what the mods and senior members post here so hopefully this will help me.
First, I do understand that many...

Dear Sir or Madam. My daddy 57 years old.
In November 2017, my loved daddy was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS disease or motor neuron disease). Bulbar shape in the initial stage. Symptoms: the blurred (smeared) speech, twitching of the muscles of the arms and shoulder girdle...
Just received a written report of the EMG I had taken in late January. At that visit I was told that I was diagnosed with PBP. The report, however, says that although I was referred for a question of motor neuron disease, the EMG/NCS findings fall far short of electrical criteria for MND...

Here’s an old favorite, well-worth repeating.
How many dogs does it take to change a lightbulb?
Golden retriever: the sun is shining, the day is young, we’ve got our whole lives ahead of us, and you’re inside worrying about a stupid lightbulb?
Border collie: just one, and then I’ll...
