Hi,
I am new to this site but reading the posts has helped me feel like I am not alone.
My journey started in Aug 2009. I had generic symptoms, starting with swelling in my hands and fatigue. I have been to several specialists each time a "new" symptom would appear and every test would come...

Initially I was despondent upon being diagnosed with an inexplicable genetic variant of juvenile amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Being only 18 I assumed there was little if anything to remain living for. This all persisted until I stumbled upon an article regarding chemical neurotoxins and a...

Re: A few major concerns
Does anyone here know, from their journey to diagnosis--if atrophy is possible with MS? I keep thinking that if I had ALS, I'd be worse than I am after a year of atrophy in my hands. Is that a valid assumption?

I have been having intense pain in the ribs, and of course the muscle fasiculations. Aweful back pain and knee pain- could this be fybromyalgia? Do you know what they use to test for that? I had a negative emg and do not usually have heartburn or anything like that.
