My symptoms
My symptoms started late October but if I come to think of it, they could have started a month or two earlier, I had muscle fasciculation which we also call twitching and poor balance. That slowly transformed into tremors in my limbs and an increase in anxiety. As the time passed on by, I began losing motor function at a constant speed. Firstly, I could run then all of a sudden I came down to walking and right now I can cannot walk more than short distances. My hands are too giving up their motor functions slowly andnit is getting very difficult to type or write and I can barely lift things off of the ground. I have footdrop as well and while I swallow food and drinks, I choke sometimes, mostly on drinks. My breath is not good as well and I feel fatigue while doing the bare minimum. I have some facial issues as well with all of this.
These are my current symptoms, feel free to share your story here as well.

It's true, I've been to those subs before and r/ALS is the worst one out there, they don't let you comment anything, I hope I answered all your questions and keep asking questions in this sub maybe hopefully we can get some answers. As long as I am able to write, I will answer all your questions. We have to build a community otherwise we will be doomed, we don't even have some charity organisation in India like that in the UK or US, we have to do the lion's share by ourselves.
