    ALS Men Please Advise!

When we got my husband's diagnosis (Dec 2011), I needed to talk to the people I am close to about it, but it took Silvio a few months until he was ready to tell people.

    Any suggestions for turning pages?

    My husband has now all but lost function in both hands. Before this disease hit he was a voracious reader, but he hasn't touched a book in months and spends much of the time in front of the TV.

    Home renovations

    Thanks so much for your advice. We will take all these tips into consideration. Not living in the US, our ALS association unfortunately does not provide this kind of help and could only give me very general guidelines. Unfortunately, space is tight and I'm pretty sure we won't be able to...

    Home renovations

    Hi all, My husband was diagnosed with ALS in January, and since then he has lost most function of his right hand. Thankfully he still has most motor functions in his left hand, although he has little strength in that hand. In an effort to prepare ourselves for what lies ahead, we are looking...
