Hi all,
I am 21, male (yes, I know; read on though, please)
I have been severely depressed for several years. Last year I took to a lot of drug use and grappled with marijuana addiction. During the worst of this time, I smoked large amounts daily out of a gravity bong jerry rigged from a...

Greetings,
First I want to say “thank you” to all of you past and present that have posted on this forum. Although I’ve only been a member for a few months now, the information and encouragement you all have provided has helped.
Was diagnosed April 15, 2017 with ALS. The below is the story...
My dad has been at the hospital all day due to constipation and now nausea. They need a cat scan of his lungs and the doc told my mom it looks like pneminoa, but very little and they are going to start him on antibiotics and do cultures to make sure that's what it is. Those will take a couple of...
I got my probable ALS diagnosis on May 24th, days before my husband and i would leave on an anniversary trip to California. We have shared this horrible news with some family and our kids. This is just overwhelming and I am so confused as to why we have to wait 6-8 weeks for a followup at the...

Hi all,
My husband & I are going through ivf to start a family. We just got the results of our embryo today & it's affected which means my husband 100% has a mutated SOD1 gene. What's confusing me is that no one in his family has it & no one in his extended family either! How is it possible for...
First off, hello everyone! This is only my second post to the ALS Forums. I have read/lurked a bit over the last ~6 months, but have stayed quiet while trying to process everything going on around me.
To sum up my story as a "caregiver"... My beautiful wife and I married back in 2014 and had...
I can't begin to explain how bad things are now. Jay is so miserable and uncomfortable and angry with me. He's mad at me every single day. He's saying crazy things that he wants to sell the house. He's absolutely mean to me. Picks at me all day long. He's so uncomfortable and in pain. I know...

When I first got on this site, I read the posts on the, "Do I have ALS?".
I found that reading these posts made me angry because most have symptoms that could be other illnesses or nothing to really worry about. There is a lot with anxiety issues.
These people have a right to post on this...
A few weeks ago my husband died, just days before our 23rd wedding anniversary. I still can't believe it. I am so sad, so angry. I'm 51 and a widow. My kids don't have a father. I don't know what our lives will be like without him.
He was diagnosed with progressive bulbar palsy in December...
