I also notice sometimes that i experience awkwardness when walking and my speechHearing or speech impairment - resources Speech disorders is a littleLittle noses decongestant Little tummys different to everyone elses.
I am also slightly clumsy, but I have always been that way.
But its not always ive felt awkward when walking, i usually put it down to rough surfaces and walking uphills. Also my voice has pretty much always been a bit weird since my voice broke a few years ago.
That's it so far. Im 16 by the way, 17 in January next year.
Do I have ALS? Could I have ALS?
Thanks so much.
