    you know what bugs me?

    Merry Christmas to all of you and best wishes for the new year. We are living the dream here in New Westminster! Our relationship is stronger than ever and our intimacy is off the charts. For example, my wife touches my penis dozens of times a day. She gazes into my eyes as she inserts my...

    Can't get rid of phlegm

    Thanks for this thread BF! I suffer with this intermittently too. I think it was mentioned already but keep Wayne well hydrated. Thin secretions are easier to deal with. When this happens we have had luck with the saline nebulizer. I would like to try the manual cough assisst but I just got a...

    Amylyx

    These discrepancies are so frustrating! In North America we can get it no problem. But don't lose sight of the fact it may slow but who knows how much and which variants? It may be good with FUS but nothing else. Good luck getting it regardless!

    Amylyx

    Could someone interpret what " significant" means? When Edaravone results were published they said it slowed progression by 30% on average. Although somewhat meaningless in evaluating personal progression it still gave me something I could sink my teeth into. If they said significant and the...

    Bushfires in Oz

    What a relief! When this thread popped up in my feed my heart stopped thinking you had bad news. I am still upset about the situation but at least your furry friends are safe. They, like us, are lucky to have you looking out for them!

    For the females- suprapubic catheter

    Kim, have you tried condom catheters? I use ones from Coloplast. They connect to a collection bag you strap to below the knee. Then he won't feel like he is peeing himself. And you can drain it easily. It leverages the benefit of having a penis. Many would say that having a penis delivers a life...

    Amylyx

    Dee Dee, I think this response is in the wrong thread but it has been a lifesaver for me nonetheless. The last few weeks have seen me choke at almost every meal. Knock on wood, it may be a thing of the past. Thanks so much! Thank goodness for accidental postings!

    Amylyx

    Thank you so much Nikki! I have a friend here in Vancouver who was in the trial shortly after his limb onset diagnosis. He was pretty sure he was in the placebo group because he felt he was progressing. But after six months he was given the actual drug and things seemed to slow dramatically. He...

    There are three, soon to be four Karen. The bottom one is the first in the series, "Do what you can." The newest one adds to the top of the list.

    My Friend Ted Podcast

    This not a story of hope in particular but I think this is the best place to post it. A friend of mine was a high profile producer at CBC for many years. He now produces podcasts and he very kindly offered to do one for me. If you don't know what a podcast is, think of it as an on demand radio...

    What I have learned, so far...

    Thanks Kim, I did not know what it meant either. Like Oregon, Canada has right to die legislation which is easy to qualify for if you play the ALS card. It seems unusually cruel to force someone to take matters into their own hands with VSED. I don't know how painful it would be but it sounds...
