I am not a techy person, but I do enjoy using my iPad. My hand function is declining. My speech is slightly slurred and nasally, but still understandable.
A friend of mine gave me an Amazon “Fire HD 8 with Alexa”, 16gb, for Christmas.
I’m embarrassed to say it’s still sitting on my shelf...

The perfect storm of atropine (mucus) Benadryl (sleep) our heating system, learning how to stay hydrated with feeding tube plus slight air leak of my trilogy mask going right to my eyes.

My name is Mike. I'm 25 years old, turning 26 next month. Surprisingly, in the face of what I wholeheartedly believe is an onset of ALS, I'm doing an okay job of trying to stay calm, but still very worried.

I have always had some health anxiety, let's start there.
