My husband was diagnosed with ALS on December 1st and is already using Trilogy at night to help with breathing. We are traveling to Colorado and plan to spend some time in Breckinridge. We live in Arkansas are not used to high altitudes. Does anyone have any suggestions about my husband's...
Hi everyone my name is jake and I’m 28 years old. My symptoms started over 2 years ago with random twitching and mild breathing issues.
This past year my breathing has declined a lot. I’ve had a full cardiac and pulmonary work up all normal except pft showing restriction.

Hello, first and foremost I'm not looking for a diagnosis. Maybe just some positivity!
I am a 30 year old female who was living a very healthy, active, meaningful life. The kind of life where I have 2 beautiful children, a wonderful husband, am a former mail carrier (haven't been able to work...
Dear PALS, I've had an earlier thread regarding my mother, who's diagnosis is still uncertain. Both Laurie and Karen were very helpful. A short intro:
My mother is a very complex case and has shortness of breath, orthopnea, loss of strength in upper arms and some atrophy of the deltoid...
Hey all,
Have only posted once or twice before. I'm the caregiver for my partner, Mike, who has been diagnosed since August 2011. He uses a power chair and a feeding tube (although he's fortunately still able to enjoy a beer every night), a sip and puff respirator as he needs, and we use a...

Hi everyone,
I have received an unofficial diagnosis and am losing my speech quickly, along with lots of respiratory weakness and breathing issues. My voice appears to be going first (especially tongue weakness) and I was wondering how long it took those who have lost the ability to swallow to...
Hi! I’m new to this forum - my brother-in-law was diagnosed summer 2017. I’m looking in to organizations which grant wishes to adults with ALS. I’d love to help him and my sister take their family to Disney while it’s still feasible. He can currently still walk but is weakening and has breathing...
Dear all
I'm in a really tough spot and have been for about 3 months. Please can I run my symptoms by you to see if anyone can relate to my condition and progress.
I have felt a bit off since the beginning of the year like a growing fatigue, but I put this down to having a 1 year old (now...
