Hi, Myownself, welcome to the forum. You'll find a lot of assistance, knowledge, and support here.
I used to live in Bellingham, and I thought there were plenty of good doctors there. I really miss the view each morning on Alabama Hill, seeing the Bay in front of me and Mt Baker behind me.
We have another user, Music67, who is in Bellingham.
We have several people on this forum who have family histories of ALS. That's a particular kind of fear they experience.
What symptoms does he have?
Have you got a neurologist?
