mrsmason,
I would urge you to reconsider deactivation, as I and others would like to get to know you and your situation. We all have a story to tell and it is unique. We all have ideas and suggestions for each other to help in this journey that NO one else understands, but cALS and pALS. I would like to think that you also will have great contributions to offer as we continue down this road.
Believe me, there are many here (cALS and pALS) that have been through so much and are able to provide support and reality checks when needed. And I have to mention the wonderful cALS, like Missy, that stay on the forum to help us, even while they grieve. I am so very grateful for the people I have met here and you would be to, if you stuck around!
Having said all that, if you decide to leave, I wish you good luck!
