Hi Ellen, There are quite a few comments by members on neuropathy and ALS. Not being a doctor I think that there are a lot of different conditions that have similar symptoms. Here's a search link to the comments on neuropathy and ALS - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/comments/?search=%20Neuropathy%20and%20ALS.

Not sure if these are the references you mentioned but here are a couple.
