    Just to say Hello and Wow!

    Thanks Guys for taking the time to say hello. Al, just for your information, I STILL wear the red bikini! I suppose one day I should retire it! (or maybe buy a new one) I know that we have many, many angels watching over us from this forum, and that gives me such comfort. I remember some...

    Just to say Hello and Wow!

    Just a short note to say how wonderful it is to see that this forum is now international and going stronger than ever! Back in early 2003, when this forum began, and there were only a dozen or so of us posting and sharing our lives with one another, I never dreamed that this forum would...

    Very Important Questions

    Hey Jen, How are you doing? Henry used to sigh a lot too. A lot. Really deep sighs. I asked Henry why he did this and he said it felt good. It stretched his lungs he said. He also said he felt releif when he sighed. I guess if it makes you feel good, do it. I asked the docs about it...

    new awaiting diagnosis

    Hi Guys, I have read this thread with interest. Lots of emotions here. Having moderated this site for the past couple of years, and being one of this forums first members, I am concerned that this is a complete battle of wits of who knows more than the other. I am in 100% agreement with...

    Information Appreciated

    Hi asmileaday, Welcome to the forum. I agree with Liz. See another specialist now! All of these symptoms can be indicative of als, however, since there are no tests for als, ruling everything else out comes first. You have to wonder about a doctor who is not willing to take you seriously...

    Hi From Carol D.

    Hi Al and Everyone, I have just spent the last hour or so going over and reading some of the first posts on this forum. Back from 2003. WOW! Those early days with Downtown Johnny, Fisher, TBear, myself and eventually Al. What a comic relief bunch we were. It was, to say the least...

    If You Could

    I would not sweat the little stuff. It seems cliche to say, however, when you have lived the full motion picture from beginning to end, I would say, do not sweat the little stuff. We had a good life, worked hard, played hard, lived hard, loved hard. It was good. I think I would have liked to...

    incredible support

    Hi there, Sorry to hear about your diagnosed. There is no nice disease. However, what comes our way is out of our control. Educated yourself and fight. Get a second and third opinion. You need to be in control of your body and your mind. Sometimes I wish someone would look after my mind...

    My mom, my best friend

    Hi Guys, I prayed and prayed for Henry to outlive the odds, and for the most part he did. He lasted almost 8 years. Near the end however, I prayed and prayed for the Lord to take him. He suffered so much near the end that I was being selfish wanting him to stick around for longer, and he did...

    sad news that has me very scared and depressed

    Hi Patsy, It is good to hear that your spirits are up. Nice to have the sun shine, than to have the rain pour. It is getting nicer out now so everyone can enjoy the nice warm days that are hopefully ahead of us. Henry also seemed to get stronger in his legs a couple of years into his als...
