  • together that we can.
    I'm so sorry to learn that your husband doesn't have long. I pray for your strength, and God's mercy to help make it somehow easier for you both!!! Blessings!
    And, thank you!!!
    started to fall over the slightest change in the ground, sidewalk, or like you said over a little rock! His primary, family doc sent him to a sports med doc who did an MRIs and EMG. We were scared to death when he said he "DIDN'T THINK HE HAD ALS!!" Yikes...Well, we read about it and were even more frightened. He sent us to a neuro who had one visit just to do a few tests, blood work, and MRIs. In between time, he got more cramps, and the muscle twisting. Then a second visit he did the EMG again and 20 days apart from the first EMG told him he had ALS! We then got a second opinion at the ALS Clinic in Pittsburgh, PA. It was confirmed by the top doc in the area. Of course we were devastated! We had to go on anti-depressants. But now have both reached the point where we have settled down thanks to those little pills! And, we have focused on making the best time
    Cervus, Thank you for responding and the details of your husband's progression. I know everyone with this monster disease progresses at different rates, but somehow I need to just know and when I meet someone here, I ad them to my prayer list!!
    My husband had a hip replacement a year ago. It was a very invasive surgery and very stressful to his body. It seemed after that he started having trouble. It was suttle, but more and more symptoms developed. He had cramping especially in his hands.

    Cervus, Your husband has been diagnosed since November, correct? How is he doing since his diagnosis? Is he still in stage one? Blessings!!
    Hi! Thanks for including me in your friend's list. It looks like we are both caregivers for our husbands. My husband was just diagnosed with ALS in May and then in a second opinion visit in June. We of course were devastated, but have since gone on mega anti-depressants, and decided there is enough time to cry later, we have to make the best of each day we have. My husband said, "From now on everyday is a good day!" How are the two of you doing?
    Hi I just wanted to say hello to a fellow Albertan here and let you know that your husband Bob probably knows my wife Beth MacCallum. I hope all the U of A clinic team is treating you well.
    Yasmin, welcome to our forum family, however I am sorry you had to find us at all. Sounds to me like you have a good support system there, and a wonderfulll family. That is good. However, this is the place to rant and rave or to get advice from those who are living with the same disease and are willing to share what we know . WELCOME.
