Other pALS out there, what did you decide? Did you...

Last December I noticed that my lower arms, wrists and fingers felt a bit weaker. I seem a lot more clumsy with my hands, knocking things over often and dropping things a lot. I went to the doctors and she did a standard neuro test that was normal. Pushing on her hands, squeezing her fingers...

His update is on Facebook -- matt.bellinski.7

I was diagnosed with PBP a year ago this week. I frequently check in and read most of the posts for the day. It just dawned on my husband and I that none of the four neurologists I have seen have mentioned physical therapy or drugs that might delay the progression of this beast.

Earlier this week whilst driving my car I started whistling along to a song and not much sound was coming out, this is strange because i normally have a very strong whistle. I got worried and panicked a bit. Fast forward to this morning, I tried to get my dogs attention and went to make that...
