thanks for the welcome, I feel like in some way that I know people from spending the last few months reading. It is a mixed feeling to be welcomed into this forum, I am sure everyone understands that. In some ways it makes things seem to real, but also feels good to have people that understand. I dont like expressing my symptoms and concerns to my family anyore. I dont want to stress my husband and Iwant to have everything normal when we are together. Not always about this. I have not been diagnosed with als---yet.
