I'm a veteran, too, it's sad that we have such an increased chance of getting ALS.

Glad to know there are other services that help people.....My husband has adult muscular dystrophy, we were using the limited services frm MDA then later received a letter frm them stating that they were discontinuing any services....where is all that money that they collect going????

What do military persons do on a frequent basis that many do not do? They are forced to take many, many, many vaccines.

i was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease May of 2021. My biggest fear is they miss diagnosed me. I’m in the process of getting a third medical opinion. 🌹🌷

"Removing CNS iron should limit the impact of the neurological symptoms of the disease."

[@benopie7772]

Im a veteran here and I have weird symptoms of perceived weakness and muscle twitching, I have been cleared of als thusfar through clinical exams and EMG. I wonder if theres any connection between the number and frequency of vaccines we have to take and developing this disease. A glaring thing that separates us from the rest of the population is the number vaccines we have to take. Vets are the most vaccinated people in the country maybe even in the world.

[@liberoAquila]

Most of the general population is pretty vaccinated too. Might it be to physical exertion like sports players? Granted many military jobs don't require that much exercise.
