Hello everyone, introducing myself here and seeing if anyone here can offer some help. I'm in desperate need. I'm a 34 yr Male. I apologise in advance for the long post. Things started around 3 weeks ago while I was away on holiday. I felt that my right hand was strange, and unable to...

I have noticed a few changes with Steve regarding his sleep and his breathing. Today I had to insist that he actually sit down and talk to me. Apparently, the reason he is waking up so much at night is because he gets sinus congested and can't breath through his nose. He is on the Trilogy. We...

Hi! I'm new to this site and first of all I just want to say what a group of fighters you are. Not only are you fighting probably the worst disease on this earth, but you help so many anxious people by calming them and answering their questions. So, as you may have guessed, I'm one of those...

One year ago, I noticed fasciculations in my calves, which then spread throughout my body! My legs would cramp up, I felt like I was getting weaker, would constantly search for atrophy, my anexity went through the roof, people close to me thought I was having a breakdown! I seen a bunch of...
