My husband is doing this as well. He says it feels like his mouth is beginning to droop. And he's not talking like he normally does. He's also fell twice in the last week and he is losing his grip. My heart goes out to all of you.

My whine today is that I can't seem to stress to my boys the importance of a clean room! Nathan is 10 and Brandon is 8. And when I walk into their room I could literally scream. Add to that the addition of a pup named Cooper and I feel a little bit overwhelmed. Oh and my favorite cheese is Colby...

It's a blessing to know that I am not alone in this. It's been so scary since we found out and with two young sons, 10 and 8, it just seems overwhelming. As a Christian though I have prayer and that keeps me grounded. Now I have you guys and I am humbled by your willingness to help. Thanks so...

Thanks to all of you who answered my post. I appreciate each of you and many blessings your way. I will pray and enjoy the holidays with my husband and sons. Once again, thanks! lg

My husband began falling for no apparent reason during the summer of this year. He went to our family doctor and from there he has been sent to a neurologist in which an EMG was performed. We are still waiting on the results. I am writing to you to tell you some of the symptoms that he is...
