Hello, everyone, I am new to this website, although I have been searching ALS websites for a few years now. My father was diagnosed with ALS about 4 years ago, noticing symptoms about 4 1/2 years ago. He and my mother (both 77) live in the same town as I do, and we go to the same church. His progression is apparently slow compared to some, but it's not a pretty disease, regardless of the rate of progression. He needs to have some in-home help, but refuses, so my poor mother is really struggling. I am, too, since I feel like I'm always over there helping. I want to help, but I work a lot, and have a husband and kids, so my home life suffers.
I'm having a little trouble figuring out this site, and just today figured out how to post . Hopefully, I'll get better at it. I've been reading some of the previous posts, and I know everyone here knows what it's like to be a PALS or CALS.
