van

It's been a rough couple of days and I am really struggling. I need to vent a bit, and I feel like this is the only place where anyone will actually understand. I had to call an ambulance to take my PALS to hospital on Friday night. He's been constipated on and off for a couple of weeks and we...

My dad was diagnosed with PLS a couple of years ago. For reasons I don't need to go into, his current living situation is going to change very soon, and my sister and I intend to have him live in our homes on a shared basis. I live 5 hours away from my dad and my sister's family, so...

My husband called me up today at work and said that he was not going to be able to let our housekeeper in because no matter how he tried he would not turn the doorknob. He DID end up getting the door open. A Life Alert is coming our way, and that will have a key box on the front of the door and...

Every day seems more like "Ground Hogs Day". My son and I have been caring for our PALS since September 2011. The first few years were not bad. He still could talk, walk, and eat. As the disease progressed, he decided on a feeding peg tube and much later, a ventilator. He is paralyzed...

Good Morning, Giving this a try. A little background for my dad: He was diagnosed early months of 2017, receives Social Security Disability. Medicare A and B, recently enrolled into Supplemental Insurance as well. My mother depended completely on his income when he did work. My dad can no...

What must physician write on script for Roho cushion & assistant driving controls? We will be going to the ALS clinic again soon. Since my husband can no longer effectively weight shift in his chair & lacks the arm strength to lift himself up to reposition, we will be asking for a script for a...

2011 Toyota Sienna for sale in the Lansing MI area. The van is in excellent running order. Nearly new brakes, tires, battery, wiper blades, charcoal air filter. The three recalls have been addressed. The price is certainly negotiable. If you would like to see more about it, my son-in-law has...

Hello all, My husband has left leg onset and when we got the unofficial diagnosis on May 12th by the neurophysiatrist, the EMG showed the ALS is in his right leg, too, although he has yet to show symptoms. My question is, if the EMG picked it up in his right leg back in May, when would the...
