Hi all,
The above protein/energy drink has been touted as a miracle drink for those with ALS. So much so that it claims that out of 250 people, half had symptoms stopped or reversed. It's been heavily pushed on an fb group site where they are now asking for money in order to "gift" two months...
Hello,
Sorry I've been away from the forum for a long time. Two teenagers, one baby, and full time care of my dad (shared with my mom) was tough.. And then... We decided to move from the USA to Finland. It was my husband's idea actually... He dragged us in June 2018 because he thought we could...
Hello. My husband was diagnosed ALS May 24, 2018 at age 43. It all began in April 2017 when he began having difficulty clipping his nails, left hand onset first. From there it was over a year of testing, specialist, etc, which is the only normal thing I guess about this disease; difficult to...

I am a federal employee who recently started using my accumulated sick leave after working for the first two plus years after diagnosis. In my preparations for filing for Medicare/SSDI, I cant tell if I have to wait until I have exhausted my accumulated leave before I apply since I will still...
On his first clinic day after diagnosis my dad saw a psychologist who asked him to model how he saw himself in a sort of clay or children doth sort of thing. At the time he could still move his hands a bit but not all of his fingers.
He was surprised to see that his work made him think of...
