Hi, I'm a 46 year old male recently diagnosed with ALS(Oct. 26, 2011). Just wanted to introduce myself to the forum and say hi.
 
Hi Doug!

Welcome. As always, I am sorry to find anyone new here. However, there are so many incredible people here just waiting to help you deal with this and learn to live the best life you can with ALS. I'm sure you have scouted out the site and realize the information you can find here will literally be life altering.

Again, welcome.

Hi Doug,
Welcome to the forum.
As the others have said, lots of very smart and caring people here.

Have you applied for CPP Disability yet? I just completed everything and can help you if you need it.

I know how overwhelming it all is, but with the help of this forum, it makes things a little easier.

Cheers,
Casey
