Well, gee, I don't have #ALS, What I have is "Severe, length dependent axonal sensorimotor polyneuropathy with diffuse denervation changes with concern for a superimposed active, generalized disorder of the motor neurons, their axons, or both involving the cervical and lumbosacral myotomes." Symptoms, and prognosis, is similar to ALS.
The one good thing about this new diagnosis is that I no longer feel the need to gain weight (#ALS patients do better when they are heavy), which can be difficult for a life-long slim guy like me.
