Thanks for your time to respond, my fault as I was wanting help with ALS and I mistakenly posted in the prisoner bashing forum. I say lets Kill them all instead of all this wasted money on prisons. If we just shot everyone of them wouldn`t the world be a much nicer place!

Look don't get me wrong I apreciate the time you took to write but I realize that I should not have been open about this in the first place because it just opens it up to every one wanting to have a go. I had thought this forum was a place where I could get some help with ALS not more judgement...

Hi, thank you so much for your information and I am sorry to hear about your Dad, I hope your family is doing okay. I am not sure what FTD is as this is all new to us and did you mean that the Appt. with Dr. Briemberg was not that worthwhile as we are hoping even if the diagnosis is confirmed...
