    hi all, long time no write. I just wanted to say Ann Marie was a sweetheart with a true gift of words that really helped me at my darkest hour. You all were. Warm wishes to you all.

    painful swallowing

    hand exercises and diagnosis I have one of my kids small squishy ball toys and I have one of those clampy hand exercisers. At first it was a matter of literally making myself open and close my hand as exaggerated at I could as many times a day as I could remember. It was slow to progress, but...

    painful swallowing

    Bulbar symptoms Hi there, I have had some pretty significant bulbar symptoms and have been given a lot of feedback regarding this subject from great people with firm diagnosed. There is "bulbar als", which I really was concerned I had because I couldn't swallow. It wasn't that it was painful...

    Ionic Foot Bath?

    I saw this at a health & wellness expo last year and I was pretty intrigued. They had demonstrations going on the entire time and you could literally see the water changing colors as the feet stayed in the foot bath. I am always a little skeptical of "miracle treatments" without proof, but I...

    New symptoms

    Hi quality, I am keeping my fingers crossed for you that you will get some answers and start getting better. I know the nerves get so racked before an appointment, when at the same time a week feels a million miles away. I will be sending good thoughts your way.

    Anyone been to UCLA Med Center/Michael C. Graves?

    I went to UCLA the beginning of December really hoping to just get some answers. I ended up seeing Dr. Graves (it took several months to get in) and he was courteous and fast and mostly his interns handled things. Although he was kind and simple, it did seem like he was not that thorough to me...

    The joy of UCLA...

    Hi Sharon, I read your post and you have humbled me and given me some perspective. As irritated as I was I am grateful that I do not have any diagnosis. Thank you. It sounds like you are on track looking into your options. We have actually been contemplating making a move because of stairs...

    The joy of UCLA...

    So..I had an appointment at UCLA yesterday. I was hoping that I would get some answers, but the only answers I have received were that I am the most healthy person in the entire world. My nerves are amazing, my emg (#2) is clear. The only things they can find wrong is my gait is completely...
