    pain and burning skin in butt from sitting, lying in bed

    You have given us plenty to consider and look into. Thank you so much for your suggestions. We have a kinesiologist coming tomorrow from the VA. Hopefully, he will answer some of these questions. Will go ahead and look for those pillows for shoulders.

    Anyone have puffy swollen red foot?

    I found this device for putting on compression socks at a medical supply store. It helps greatly in putting them on and off. It is a wire frame that you put the sock on then slide you foot through.

    Yawning!

    I have yawning as well. I yawn very hard with popping and cracking in my jaw. It feels like something is going to break. I also have cramping in the throat area. At times I can't speak for a few minutes after the cramping.

    I have never seen a reason not to take it. Any chance of help is better than no chance of help.

    Rate of decline?

    Hi Debbie, sounds like you are describing my progression as well. I sure pray that your progression slows. Every day I continue to fight for what I have left to share with my family while I can and always ask for another day to do better than the day before. Stay strong my friend.

    important poll

    I'm a gamecock fan and our season has not been well this year. I'm like you Max, hope to make it to another year with better results. In Gamecock country any year with a win over Georgia and Clemson is a successfully year.

    Diagnosed today

    So sorry you have to be here. We all worry about the burden that we are putting on our spouses and love ones. There is nothing fair about this dreaded disease for the PALS or CALS. If I had a choice, I would never put my wife through this. We have not been given a choice and I know how much she...
