Hello, I have been lurking here for the past week and thought I would introduce myself, my name is Karen and we recently found out that my brother has ALS. As you all know, this was devastating news for us. My brother is 39 and it is believed that he has ALS due to his military service in the Gulf Wars. I will be my brother's caregiver and feel very fortunate and humbled to be able to help him. I spent the first couple weeks focused on the paperwork for short term disability, social security and VA and now that is taken care of and we have meet with the ALS Society I am not sure what to do with myself! Anyways, I wanted to say hi and look forward to sharing insights and support with you all.
