    Freaking out!

    I think I might be losing my mind! Twice now while driving, I got confused about reverse and drive! I put my car in reverse, thinking it was Drive. Needless to say, I'm too afraid to drive! I also sat out two paid off pants for my son to get dressed. It took a while to figure out I was wrong...

    Feeling guilty!

    I really want to take my family on a cruise! I want to go while I can still walk and talk. I don't have much money, so I feel guilty that I want to spend what we do have on making good memories!

    Lost my job! Migraine

    I had a job as an independent contractor, working 7 days a week. I had a terrible migraine to the point that it exacerbated any ALS symptoms I have.

    ALS is a B word!

    I'm usually very positive, but finding it harder and harder lately! ALS has stolen so much from me already and I'm still just at the beginning! I lost one of my jobs because insurance won't cove me driving patients if I have ALS. My other job is threatening to let me go because I'm moving...

    Yawning!

    I'm wondering if anyone else has this crazy symptom. I feel like I have to yawn all the time and it's hard to complete the yawn. My oxygen levels are normal so is not a breathing issue. My neurologist said it's an ALS thing but didn't explain. I hate this symptom because I come of as so rude...
