Just back from Chicago and my second opinion "I cant say it is and I cant say it isnt, but because I know of no other condition with these symptoms, It is ALS and see you in Aug if you wish to drive up to Chicago again"
Well, I am not in the dark anymore. Listening to the steps others have made and are yet to make, today I filed for disability, gave my husband my car keys (that really hurt), signed up for senior services, home help and shuttle service. Wow all in one day, if you guys hadn't of suggested all the options available in various threads and meriterous service annoucements (TR) I would probably be sitting here crying and wishing for some beer. Instead I feel like Iactually accomplished something valuable. I am better - the only thing I really regret, is calling a church and having them come over and pick up 19 boxes of books - I am and have always been a reader - and they were keepers! I still have 8 boxes to re sort. between them and a kindle I will survive. So maybe one day soon I will join the tea party. Have great day I intend to.
