    I'm sorry I bought it up. I can't seem to find my place here. Thanks Nikki for sharing, you're a wealth of knowledge. Lgelb, I get it you lost someone, so you think you know, you don't. I wanted to be just fleetingly hopeful. I was happy that there was even an article. Nikki got it, Spirit...

    PALS ROLL CALL NEW THREAD (PALS ONLY) [Wednesday or whenever]

    It's a cold wet, gray day. Being paralyzed with no-one to take you anywhere. Truth be told where is there to go. I am usually so good about not getting stuck in the ALS mire, today it's too much. I haven't gotten out of bed in weeks. I made the decision not to be wrestled into clothes like a...

    First timer

    Hi Anna, I was diagnosed November 7th, 2016. It started with two fingers on my left hand. I am so sorry you're on this journey, but I am glad you found us. The people here are the best. We may not always have the answers, but we all have developed big shoulders to sustain each other. God bless you.

    New ALS fighter

    Welcome, I concur with everything that has been addressed in the other posts. The thing that jumped out at me, was your mentioning your walk. Please obtain a rollator, one of the major concerns is falling, it exacerbates the disease.

    PALS ROLL CALL NEW THREAD (PALS ONLY) [Wednesday or whenever]

    My prayers are for our country and our people. Physical, mental, emotional, political, ecclesiastical, it seems we are facing one or more of these challenges daily. To think we had thought all we had to be concerned about was ALS. I was looking back at pictures from Woodstock 1969. I marveled...

    PLS to ALS

    I am so sorry you're going through this. Try taking your meds with applesauce. It is a little weird at first but it will go down easily. Please rethink the cane, falling exacerbates the disease. Be kind to yourself, be kind to your body. God bless you. We're here.
