Should a pALS have CPR done? What do you think the prognosis would be for healing afterwards, if ribs are broken?

I was diagnosed Wed before Thanksgiving 2017! I went to Mayo believing I had NPH (normal Pressure Hydrocepheous) I had been to 4 local Neurologist and all felt it was NPH, but because Spinal Tap and draining 40 CC of spinal fluid didn't help, we ere playing "stump the doctor" EMGs on Legs were...

Godbless everyone on here.I rebuke all ALS in Jesus name by the power of the Holy Spirit and asked God to please pour out healing on everyone dealing with this horrible disease.My heart and prayers go out to everyone on here..... Long story short my grandfather died of ALS when I was 10 and...

So, I am not here for twitching. I never suspected ALS until my PT mentioned needing to see neurology/ortho for a muscle biopsy. I tore my gastrocnemius in May. It is not healing. Not responding to PT. I have lost an inch of muscle mass in the last 5 weeks in that calf. I was told...

While I haven't posted recently, I have followed many of the threads. All of the posts are so beneficial and at the same time overwhelming. Anyway after another 8 weeks, I'd like to give an update on our situation. The summer heat and my slow healing foot has kept me from overworking and...

I'm writing because I've frequented these forums in the past few months. I've read all the stickies, searched past posts, etc. I'm consumed with worry. Last spring, I bent wrong getting a toy for my son and something shifted in my back. I couldn't feel my leg for 3 months, and I had weakness...

I have been pretty much paralyzed from fear ever since these symptoms started showing up and I could really use an opinion. I know this is very long and rambling, you will roll your eyes since my symptoms appear due to injury, not disease, but please hear me out. I cannot get the thought of...
