### Patient: Doctor, I am experiencing difficulty in speaking, swallowing and walking for the past few weeks. I also have muscle stiffness and weakness. What could be wrong with me?
### Doctor: Based on your symptoms, you may have a condition called Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). To confirm the diagnosis and determine the severity of your condition, you will need to undergo several medical tests. These include occupational therapy assessment for speech therapy, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a complete physical skin exam performed, and other diagnostic procedures such as an interview, evaluation, and consultation. You will also need to undergo physical therapy exercises and mental health counseling. We can also refer you to a home healthcare service to receive additional care and support.
