Slow but relentless progression of PLS
Submitted by mrs70 on Fri, 03/10/2017 - 15:26
Hi, I just found this site today and am glad to have found you.
I was diagnosed with PLS in 1998. So, I have been living with it a long time. It's been slow, but...
When I first got on this site, I read the posts on the, "Do I have ALS?".
I found that reading these posts made me angry because most have symptoms that could be other illnesses or nothing to really worry about. There is a lot with anxiety issues.
These people have a right to post on this...
Hello! First, I want to thank anyone on this forum who help us scared people. I wish everyone on this forum well :sad:
I'm a 18 yo female. Since Christmas 2016 I experienced shaking in my hands. On the New Year's Eve (morning) I felt I couldn't deal with it anymore so my mom brought me to the...

Hello, I have a question about bulbar onset ? For the past 10 days, off and on through the day (usually when active or excited) the back of my throat feels clenched the more I talk, and I get a lot of post nasal drip the more I talk too. I thought hypernasality, but I tried the mirror challenge...
Hi everyone. Here is yet another twitch question. I read the stickies I still have a question regarding twitching. I have twitching 95 percent of the time in the back of both calves. Sometimes I will get a twitch here and there in buttocks or arms.. but mainly in calves. I had them for 17 days...
Hi Everyone,
As much as I'd rather not be here, I am. My mom was just diagnosed this week with limb onset ALS. We previously suspected it in December, so I created my profile back then and have been reading as much info as possible on here. Now it's unfortunately confirmed.
I look forward to...
First I wanted to say I’ve been lurking for the last month or so and I’m humbled by the challenges faced by the people on here and also how helpful everyone is. I read the sticky and I still feel compelled to ask what you think of my symptoms. With the understanding of course, that you all...

Hi
I joined this forum last year then forced myself to stay away to try and control my anxiety. I received a very helpful response to my question about symptoms in my leg, a response that eased my mind considerably, as I could still do many of the things that were mentioned. IIRC they were...

I have no arms and legs functonality, but speaking, swallowing and breathing is no problem yet. I was diagnosed with ALS in April 2014.
Since then I have FT 2x half an hour in a week. Plus several "hulpmiddelen" ( things, equipment that support and help, (cannot translate)).
Now I am using a...
