    The first round of treatments are now finished. No rash, but lots of headaches. Jeremy was able to lift his right leg and swing his right arm on Saturday, something that he has not been able to do for over a year. We are hopeful... Note that Jeremy still works full time as the shop...

    First Patient Treated in Stem-Cell Study

    I didn't notice that I "condemn" anyone or anything. Those are your own, very highly charged, words. I also am not against things that are not abortifacients. You are attempting to make me out to be an ogre. I am not. I am against the "morning after" pill and also the abortion pill RU486...

    Jeremy started IVIG treatments today. Very intensive for the first week (every day) then tapering off to see what happens. Hope that there is some result, but the treatments come with their own risks that are almost as high as the potential of PLS.

    First Patient Treated in Stem-Cell Study

    As long as we "call" life something other than life, it seems perfectly okay to use or otherwise manipulate it for our own good. We once called non-persons "slaves" and felt the same rights with them. A "blastocyst" is nothing more than a baby, save for some time. About criminals... If they...

    I am very solidly pro-life, but I also have no qualms whatsoever of the death penalty for convicted murderers. They have committed a crime against humanity that has consequences. A fetus has not... They are innocent victims with less voice than slaves. I expect that I will have to watch as...

    First Patient Treated in Stem-Cell Study

    We're farther along than my posts may indicate. The first symptoms started over 5 years ago, and Jeremy has been dragging a leg and an arm for almost 2 years now. He still works full time as a mechanic, doing more with one arm and one leg than most do with a full body, caring for a fleet of...

    First Patient Treated in Stem-Cell Study

    While I am as excited as everyone else about the potential for stem cell cures (or delaying agents) I am saddened that we believe that we have to harvest them from fetal tissue. There are other ways to get stem cells, and those seem to behave better than the fetal variety (so far, at least)...

    Thanks! Jeremy needs to sign up on the board as time goes on and he starts to have new questions.

    As soon as I get more details... This is all very new at this point.

    scared to try CPAP-what type of help will it give?

    Minna, I don't have one of the ALS-related issues (my son does) but I do have sleep apnea and use a CPAP machine. I've not found that it hinders me in any form or fashion, and being able to actually get true sleep is a godsend! It also kept my wife from moving out of our bedroom, as I...
