    Shifting car

    This question may seem off-the-wall, but I figured it might be worth inquiring here. As I lose strength in my arms/hands, it is becoming more difficult for me to shift my car from "Park" to "Drive". I drive an automatic vehicle (not manual shift). In order to shift the car, I must press on a...

    I apologize for not responding sooner. I have not visited this board in a while. I'm sorry to learn of the recent news you received. I know how emotionally difficult it is. I am still very emotional about my diagnosis, but feel very fortunate to have an unbelievable support system from family...

    Lifeline

    I write to ask if anyone can offer some advice on a "Lifeline" program. I understand there are various companies that offer this service. Are some programs better than others? I live alone and, while still fairly independent, would feel safer to have an alert system in case of a fall or...

    NP001 - start tomorrow

    Do I understand you correctly that I should feel some lethargy/tiredness after my first visit/week of visits if I'm receiving the "real thing" (vs. the placebo). Or does this take time? Any clues I might look for to know/suspect whether I'm getting the drug or the placebo? Thanks.

    Hand Asleep

    Good morning ... I have what might be a very simple and silly question. Of late, I'll wake up during the night or even in the morning and find my right hand "asleep" ... I just shake it/move it and it "wakes up" ... much like what everyone experiences with their legs, etc. My symptoms thus far...

    Deodorant recommendations

    Thanks for starting this thread -- and for the replies ... I was recently diagnosed with ALS and the major impact so far is on my left arm/hand ... and I'm lefthanded. I've used Right Guard spray for years, but it's getting more difficult to press the button (and hold the can) with my left...
