@allegro, I want to share this information about Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/amyotrophic-lateral-sclerosis/symptoms-causes/syc-20354022
I want to direct you to the Neuropathy discussion Group. That would be a good place to visit. I encourage you to post your question there. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/neuropathy/tab/discussions/

Hi Jan @allegro -- Mayo Clinic has some information on ALS here:

Hi Jan @allegro, there is an older discussion here where you might want to ask your question. Hopefully one of the members who posted is still receiving notifications.
