breakdown

I thought that it would be interesting and enlightening to post links to the Government required Financial Disclosures of the Organizations that are in existence and granted Nonprofit status due to their mission statement of assistance to PALS. I think that this would be very beneficial to the...

Hi everyone, having a hard time sleeping..... anxiety, nervousness... I think i need to up my prescription. I saw my doc in November for my follow up, now i go back to have ANOTHER emg and physical therapy session on the fifth. Then ofcourse there will be another follow up visit. The doctor...

Ok, this is probably something that I should know because I'll bet that it has been talked about here before but I am going to ask anyway. What is the difference between PBP, PLS, PMA and just plain old ALS? The reason that I ask is because none of my doctors has ever mentioned or even...

There seems to have been a breakdown in the Forum Follies road show due to excessive camping on the part of some of our members. I'm not casting blame ... an overwhelming urge to **** in the woods is a well-known side effect of ALS. Since a certain "Physical Zaphoon" started the whole shebang...

I have been following Tag's story and I am hoping for the best. I cannot help but to see similarities between her husband and me. My saga started out looking at my lower back condition to explain the atrophy of my calf and the paralysis of my left big toe. At first it was a possible tumor...

Up until 2 weeks ago Tammy was still able to walk short distances using her walker, use the toilet (had a raised seat), sit in the shower, sleep in our bed. She got really sick stopped eating stopped having bowel movements and looked really terrible. I had to call 911 and get an ambulance to...
