    The strife is o'er, the battle is won

    My beautiful sister died very unexpectedly of complications of ALS in the middle of the night last night. She had just been in the hospital for replacement of her feeding tube, and the Hospice nurse had examined her a few days ago, and no red flags were raised except for the fact that her blood...

    CanMark lived a full life and inspired others with his joy.

    A couple of years ago, our PALS CanMark asked me to announce here on ALSforums if and when he opted to leave the Earth. A few weeks later, he decided to stay with the rest of us mortals. Mark lived with ALS about four years, surrounded by friends and family, who visited often. He enjoyed...

    Does this sound like ALS?

    Hi, I apologize in advance for how long this is-just want to make sure I don't miss anything. I have had breathing issues for a few months now but thought nothing of it until later. It basically feels like my breathing muscles aren't strong enough and I am not getting enough air. This is...

    Hi all, In the past week, I've developed some serious coughing problems at night, to the point that I'm not sleeping well at all.
