Hi folks.
I have been experiencing various symptoms for a long time now and am one step away from a diagnosis of M.E. I have seen a neurologist, rheumatologist and M.E. specialist. Everyone seems to think I have M.E.
I'm worried it could be something else, like ALS, and I wondered if you could...

Hello Everyone,
I have had a rough 6 months. I still don't know what I have, but I do have something. I have not been to a neurologist yet, but I will be going soon. I was wondering whether these symptoms might be symptoms of ALS. I have read a lot of posts on this forum. What is unclear...

Thanks a lot for your help. Yeah, I have been thinking about going to one. Because the other thing that I have wondered if I may have is fibromyalgia. I seem to have pain on all the points that are required and what not. Also, I noticed that Fibro and Sleep Apnea usually seem to go hand in...

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 know the neurosurgeon was concerned--but do EMG/NCVs...

I am 46 years old with symptoms for 8 months. Started with a feeling of stiff ankles and feet on waking which would subside quickly. Then I developed what I called "keyboard and txting dyslexia" where I would have trouble typing and texting and wrists and fingers didn't work. Initially presented...

Hi everyone.
I am new to the Forum and am wondering about whether extreme fatigue is normal in PALS. My husband was Dx in 9/08 (Bulbar Onset), and he has been on Rilutek ever since. His decline has been slow and steady...with increasing fatigue, muscle soreness, etc. However, beginning only a...

Hi welcome to the forum.
You mention your husband is taking B-12 shots, was his B-12 pretty low? I do not have ALS, but have pernicious anemia (a chronic B-12 deficiency caused by not being able to properly absorb B-12 from food.). It can cause fatigue, cramping, muscle twitching, weird...

In November of 2004, I was taken to the emergency room with some kind of muscular break down. It took a total of three month to recuperate. I have never been the same since. I always drop my keys, hair brush, soap, utensils and dishes. Occassionally my hands and feet twitch, mainly when I...
