Hi Olly, sorry to hear your feeling crappy. Me I'm just plugging away, no good days as far as the body goes they are as good as I make them. I find eating lots of cookies makes me feel better :) That's one thing that I have found different about people with als. I can tell my forearms and legs are smaller but the middle part is expanding. I'm heavier than I've ever been. I used to be so slim and active and now I've got these little arms and legs and lots in between!

im disapearing all over, lost 16lb since october. some days i dont feel like eating and when i do if i have to chew too much my face and jaw aches. i just had a amazing thought if docs could take the shrinking part of this desease and bottle it they could make a fortune: lol.

Or if they could figure out how to stop the shrinking they'd make a fortune.
