When there is a progressive loss of muscle strength with no clear explanation, seeking medical guidance in time makes it possible to better understand what is happening. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a neurodegenerative disease that affects the neurons responsible for movement, which gradually weakens the body's muscles.
Possible manifestations: Weakness in the arms or legs, difficulty speaking or swallowing, cramps, and loss of muscle mass that progresses over time.
