                        I have very close friend and neighbor.  She has a 16-year old son, TJ, who suffers from muscle spasms in the calves and upper leg.  They can cause great pain.  Also sometimes he loses consciousness for a brief moment and will become upset.  He has visited several neurologists in the area.  He has had a muscle biopsy and other tests.  No one can say for sure what the problem is.  He was tested for MS and the test came back negative.  Can a boy 16 get ALS?  This child is a good kid..no drugs or alcohol involved.
