breathing problems

Hi Everybody, I only posted a few times in the Newly Diagnosed section. And I find it very difficult to post anything... My dad has been diagnosed in November. He's in Europe, I'm in the US. Where he is, healthcare really sucks, and I find myself asking questions on different forums, or taking...

Today marks the 1 year anniversary of my diagnosis, definitely not a feeling of celebration. I am posting this because of all the support I was given by the community here during that troubled time, and I am eternally grateful and forever in your debt. I do find myself consciously avoiding...

Hello there, This is my first post on this forum, and first I want to say: I'm sorry to all out there who suffer from ALS or saw someone suffer from it. May this world be ridden of this disease. I mean no offense in any way by asking these questions, I only search for help. My name is Duncan...
