    Not Sure

    Hi there. I have been wandering around this site for quite a few months reading the different posts and just recently became a member. I am extremely sad to see the pain that so many individuals and families are going through in living with this disease. I'm not sure why exactly I am...

    Velma's Journey

    Velma’s Journey Velma Velazquez realized something was wrong, she didn’t know what is was, but she knew that it was affecting her. On September 22, 2012 she began to keep a journal. This is her account, in her words, of the medical treatments that led to the diagnoses of ALS and a few...

    Father newly diagnosed.

    25 year old med student, fasciculations and cognitive changes
