    Beth's message to you all

    Stu, I'm saving them up. I've excaped my prison (bed) for a moment ... the only thing keeping me down are the caregivers following "regulations"! Much to tell, but I must make it quick. The only good thing about ALS is you meet the nicest people! Alison, thanks for posting my message, Hal and...

    I'm 100% Positive I have ALS...

    How many times do I have to apologize? is there anything you can help me with Beth? I was just piling on, but I'll try to make nice, too, with specifics. Here's why everybody is telling you it doesn't sound like ALS. That is not the way ALS works. You don't get it all over your body at once. It...

    I talked to hospice people last summer about signing up my husband and me ... and I was taken aback when they sort of rubbed their hands together, and started talking about our making all our funeral arrangements. Doctors talked me out of it, but I just wanted the two nurses vistis a week, and...

    Diagnosed w/ ALS by Quantum Energetics

    Kay Marie ... I'm open to alternate medicine, too, but not when people hand out a "diagnosis" of ALS to someone (with two clean EMGs, no less) and scare the ** out of them. There are so many frightened people out there, many of them lurking on this forum ... that claiming ... and having it sit...

    losing speech

    Sanderson ... I'm sorry about your dad, but glad you have all the externals under control. I agree with Kay Marie ... that is not how speech loss happens with ALS. With ALS, speech becomes slurred and progressively harder to understand. When gibberish comes out, something else is going on...

    Mum has all the symptoms

    I'm so sorry about your mom's condition. She needs to see a neurologist as soon as possible. If it is ALS, there is a medication that can slow it down and also there are treatments and medications to help control the symptoms. See if you can get her to a specialist quickly. Good luck to you...

    why don't researchers care about toxins?

    No, nothing about vaccines, either. Or illnesses, for that matter, except for neurological events.

    14F is not too cold!!! You're a better man than I, Gunga Din! Glad Poochie is eating. Always a good sign. Hope he's better soon. Stay warm and dry.

    I love LC too, and have been playing him on my Itouch. Love to paint to his songs. Haven't tried the Kindle yet ... have to figure out how much 10 oz is and if I can handle it. How are your folks doing? Been thinking about you and your family a lot.

    why don't researchers care about toxins?

    Not that I am one of the amalgam nuts ... to the contrary, I think most of that is a bunch of hooey ... but it is my understanding that where science currently stands on the cause of ALS is that it is three genes behaving badly along with some environmental triggers. I signed the forms to...

    Preaching to the Choir....

    Hang in there. No solution, just hugs and prayers (and a good swift kick for your dad).

    Hey, nice to see your picture! Sounds cold up there ... the rain is "warm" compared to snow, but chilly for us spoiled brats in California. In the 30s and 40s at night where I am. How is your dog? Better, I hope ... is he out of the cone?
