Do you know of the best place for purchasing a used wheelchair lift for a truck? Obviously money is a big issue with us so we are looking for the best deal and of course then we would need to have it installed. My husband is getting very anxious about having his chair with him so we can attend...
My husband was diagnosed with ALS in Nov 2012 but has had symptoms since March 2012 with a weak neck and slurring of speech. We are concerned about getting our legal affairs in order--any good suggestions? Lawyers are very costly and since I am no longer working as I am now his full time...
It's unfair for me to say that about the ALS clinic we are going to. They did treat us very nice and caring. They have so much to offer as far as equipment we will need in the future and even some we are using now. I think my reasons for making that statement is I want, like everyone who is...

I do realize that each reply here is correct--and I appreciate the input. I suppose we all go through our own phases regarding any kind of situation like this. My first thought was saddness and fear and then I got angry. I understand anger does not help but it is not something we always have...
My husband was recently diagnosed with ALS and I am finding it hard to believe this disease has been around for so long and yet there is still nothing that really helps it. Like cancer and many other diseases I do not believe with all the money, brilliant minds and years involved nothing has...
