ALS – List of Websites for More Information
ALS – List of Websites for More Information
Hi All.
If you’re the type of person that can’t get enough information about ALS, especially if you have been recently diagnosed with ALS and want to learn more, I have compiled a list of websites that can be used as a reference. I’ve attempted to group the websites under categories, though since some websites overlap in the information it made placement a little difficult.
I am not endorsing these websites and cannot attest to their accuracy. I’m simply making you aware of them for your own reference. These websites are not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health providers with any questions you may have regarding your medical condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read.

Thanks, it’s an impressive list!
Sometimes there are ALS related articles on ALZforum.
There used to be a collaboration between ALZforum and Prize4Life’s ALS research forum.
However ALS research forum disappeared in 2019.
I kept an incomplete copy of ALS research forum on my website.
