It's been a weird 24 hours. 36 hours ago I was on a flight home to Canada from the UK for a little bit of relief from exam time (I study Law there). Biggest worries on my mind at that time were "hope my pinky heals from a fall I took while in a hurry", and, more importantly: "when, how, and to...

Not only has Canada done away with the one and two dollar bills, we got rid of the penny too. On the new bills, if you scratch & sniff the clear maple leaf, it smells like maple syrup!.

Hi... I'm new, and I don't have ALS, but a member of my immediate family might. He told us he thinks he has it about 2 months ago, but we really thought it was in his head at first (i believe him now). He complains of random twitches (both arms, both legs) and general muscle weakness, and pain...

Just wondering if anyone is taking provigil (aka modafinil) and how it's working for you. I believe it's available in Canada and Europe but not the states. Don't know much about it but have just heard 'whispers' that folks in the States might want to get it and I'm not sure if it's helpful for...

Some questions: How can a region with around 50000 habitants has over 20 ALS cases at all time? And why is that region not being studied more? In New-Brunswick, Canada, around Bathurst, there are 24 diagnose ALS persons. One of them is my Mother in Law (diagnose a year ago and can't...
