Hi Jackie. We used Real Food with my mom and it was definitely thicker than others we had tried (probably even the thickest). I would dilute it with a bit of warm water sometimes, and I would also occasionally microwave it to thin it a bit more. We also tried the Kate Farms and the RF was much...

Hi Siri, my mom had bulbar onset ALS (it also started in the tongue and throat). It sounds like her symptoms and progression were really similar to your mom's -- she had pretty extreme fatigue early on because of the challenges breathing. She lived for about 16 months after her official...

Thanks Nikki. As always, so grateful for your expertise. And that's a good suggestion to check with her clinics, hopefully they have some good suggestions or resources on counselors. And for me, I think choosing not to know would actually be my decision out of fear. But I'll definitely try out...

Hi everyone. My mom was confirmed C9 fALS and now I'm starting to think about testing. I'm a bit of a hypochondriac so it's very tough not knowing and analyzing every muscle quiver, jerky reflex, and every time food goes down the wrong way. I know that I should consult a genetic counselor first...

Hi everyone! My mom (PBP, dx a year ago) has been dealing with extreme fatigue recently. Fatigue and lack of energy was one of her first major symptoms, but it's really ratcheted up in the past two weeks. She spends the whole day in bed, and short trips to the bathroom with the walker deplete...

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. My mom was diagnosed with PBP recently, and it's a challenging rollercoaster ride. Some things that would be helpful to start thinking about are communication backups (my mom uses text to speak apps and a whiteboard, it's helpful to start practicing with...
