Hello @rivermarya34

After reading some of the links that John, @johnbishop, posted I was intrigued by the type of symptoms listed. I'm wondering what symptoms you experienced which led to your diagnosis of ALS type 4.

It looks as if muscle weakness is the primary symptom. Has this been true for you?

Hi @hopeful33250, the first symptom it all began with was right hand weakness. Luckily, I'm still in the beginning stages so I have a good percentage of functionality still. When looking for the cause of my 'far out' neuropathy, it was discovered thru free genetic testing. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known til way later down the road, so kind of a blessing in disguise. I found a few websites and I've been doing my research, but hopeful to connect with others in that realm eventually. Thankfully, there is always research being done…
