    ALS Timeline of progression(17 months) and questions

    You have a magnificent heart. Your Mom and Dad did a great job. The love and respect you have for your family is so evident in your writing. I made the mistake of not getting a feeding tube early on when it was suggested, because I didn't "need" it at that time. I also wasn't aware of why...

    Numbness anyone?

    Thanks for the smile. Reading this as an observer was like watching couples tennis. Hello Bill, I am sorry you're here, but you are most welcome sir. And as I am sure you have noticed we have people here who have a vast knowledge of ALS.

    Husband was just diagnosed...I'm so worried and not sure how to help.

    I'm so sorry, husband can be such wonderful people. Keeping his weight stable is very important. I found dairy has been reeking havoc with my saliva. I now substitute dinner with non-dairy muscle milk. carbs in the morning and protein with vegetables at mid-day. I was scheduled for a feeding...

    Help with PALS that doesn’t want help

    Hi, I love the people here, they are so nice. I tend to get into trouble because I don't have a filter, or tact. First off I am 60 and was diagnosed 2016, and am currently paralyzed from the shoulders down. I was and am an extremely independent person. This was absolutely the worst...

    Can't get off the toilet independently-what now?

    Hi, I am very concerned about you all, still transferring to a toilet as you are getting weaker, and putting yourselves at greater risk of both energy expense and falling. I use a bed pan, in bed, recliner or wheelchair. We cut the diapers in half, trimming the excess plastic around the outer...

    Can't get off the toilet independently-what now?

    I can't stand any more. If you have mobility, it really is just a tube hooked up on both ends. I have no idea how it would feel walking because of its positioning. I use it when I am going to be alone for a few tranquil hours. My son took apart the switch on the machine and extended the...

    My PALS and denial

    I am probably going to get in all sorts of trouble for writing here, because I have ALS. I want to say thank you, God knows we couldn't maintain any sense of normalcy without you. I understand your concern about false hope, gimmicky products, snake oil salesmen, and soothsayers. Only you know...

    So sorry to bother, but so scared.

    I'm so very sorry that you are worried. I can only say, what you have described is not ALS. Judging from what you've written, I would absolutely follow up with your PCP regarding anxiety medication, but put your mind at ease regarding anything related to ALS. Enjoy your children. God bless you.
