    Could this be ALS?

    Hello everyone. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my post. I've received a lot of relief and understanding by reading the other posts and your replies on this forum. I am a 27-year-old male, and I have been a type 1 diabetic for 25 years. Lately, I've been having some symptoms...

    For the men...

    Kevin was driving home from one of his business trips, in Northern Arizona, when he saw an elderly Navajo man walking on the side of the road. As the trip was a long and quiet one, he stopped the car and asked the Navajo man if he would like a ride. With a silent nod of thanks, the Indian got...

    Looking into home help

    My PALS (mom) agreed today that perhaps some part time home help would be agreeable. She lives alone in a big house and is getting exhausted walking around, and wants to be able to go out, but it is getting difficult alone. She's only diagnosed a month ago so this is all happening faster than...

    Ice Cream

    Hi folks, I have been spending spare moments the past few days, as few as there seem to be, reading some of the posts on these forums. Some are comforting, some are helpful, some are terrifying and fill me with dread for what is to come. Whatever emotions the posts inspire though, it seems...

    Weight Question

    I researched other entries re: weight but guess not finding what I am wondering about. My husband is in his 3 1/2 year plus, and now is basically a concentration camp looking individual. I only put it that way as he says that to me that he is. He is skinny, skinny, skinny. Speech slurs, cramped...

    Power wheelchair "tie down" systems?

    We have found a nice, reasonably priced, used van that is going out to be converted for rear-entry wheelchair accessibility. They normally use the "QRT Standard Q-straint", which appears to be a basic Q-straint system. I am thinking I should at least upgrade to the Q-straint MAX or deluxe...
