Hello Everyone, haven't posted in about a year, but just wanted you all to know that my husband passed away today. He fought a brave fight but the illness finally took over. He was diagnosed mid 2005. Progression was slow in the beginning but sped up after diagnosis. Symptoms started in 2002. He got a Bipap in January of this year and in a couple of months was using it day and night. Thanks to all who replied to my threads and I wish you all the best, Elo
