ALS (or Motor Neurone Disease which we call it in Australia) is diagnosed by a process of elimination. There is not one test for ALS, your neurologist has to eliminate other possible
causes of your symtoms before making a diagnosis. I was diagosed two months ago, and while
initially a shock I am now exploring possible treatment options by discussing them with my neurologist.Please don't believe everything you read on the internet or support group. Some people have some very strange and useless ideas. Trust your doctor, not some weirdo who posts "cures", especially if they ask you for money.
