I'm not trying to be a troll, I'm looking for people to talk to, and to help me through. You can think that I am, but keep it to yourself.
It DOES hurt my feelings.
For me, it started with the muscle twitches and it was actually my mom who noticed I was waking abnormally (my grandmother died from Als) so my mom was vigilant of the symptoms
My doctor did an EMG, an MRI, and a blood test and said that I had ALS...
He called me in to his office a few days...
I'm taking Zoloft and riluzole
I was lying to say I'm not scared, who wouldn't be? But sometimes I can muster up enough fake confidence to feel better.
And I don't have anyone to look after me because I don't need it, yet anyways...
You're right, I fixed it.
And my health isn't too big of a concern at the moment, I still have 99% of my mobility. But I'm not sure what's going to happen when I need more constant care.
My doctor told me it's an extremely rare occurrence.
It's summertime for one, and although I'm able to go to school, I'll never be able to work so I've decided to stay home from school and spend my time with my family and friends. All of my medical and financial issues are done by my parents...
Thank you for the welcome, I just felt like I was the only person with ALS so I did some digging and found this forum.
Its been extremely hard on me and my family lately, and I was hoping that this forum could help ease my mind.
I'm still able to climb stairs and function pretty regularly, but I've fallen 4 times in the last month. Does anyone know how much wheelchair lifts cost?
Hey guys, my name is jayne! (not a girl haha)
I'm a 15 year old who was recently diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, as well as ALS.
I'm not afraid of what comes next, and I will fight it until the end. If Stephen hawking did it, who says I can't?
I look forward to spending time with all of you...
