My ALS symptoms and how I got diagnosed

My ALS Journey Russell Cowger video 2 Thank you for watching. Like and subscribe What is ALS? ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. A-myo-trophic comes from the Greek language. "A" means no. "Myo" refers to muscle, and "Trophic" means nourishment – "No muscle nourishment." When a muscle has no nourishment, it "atrophies" or wastes away. "Lateral" identifies the areas in a person's spinal cord where portions of the nerve cells that signal and control the muscles are located. As this area degenerates, it leads to scarring or hardening ("sclerosis") in the region. My Symtoms: Cramping Stiffness Fasciculations Weakness Balance is bad Socks are harder to put on.
