Hello to all, I posted recently in the Newly Diagnosed forum about my mother. Since she was diagnosed in early August, she seems to be progressing quicker than I expected. In 8 weeks she has gone from slight slurring of words and a small limp, to basically unintelligible speech and the need...

I just received a lovely Permobil F3 from my ALS loaner closet. I can still walk using a rollator or cane but have slowed way down. The tipping point (pun intended) recently occurred while out on a walk with my dog and my walker. I was bending over to pick up poop (the neighbors love it when...
