    A new short story

    Raoljost - (A Guiding Light) Chapter 1 I wasn't able to run fast enough. My legs and arms were going as fast as I could force them to move and they burned with effort. My breathing was labored, but under control. Sweat poured from my brow and burned my eyes. I could hear the hounds of hell...

    First to go, voice or ability to swallow?

    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...

    Things that you do not hear about ALS

    In June of 2016 I posted a thread about Pain in ALS and how the "experts" tell us that ALS, as defined by the dying/malfunctioning of our motor neurons, is not painful. As time has progressed I have found many other things that "they" tell us are not issues that are. Like Smell, Bathroom...

    Forum refugee from Germany

    Hi folks! I have a good feeling about finding this forum! I already found a LOT of helpful information in the german ALS forum, but there's not a lot of people around "living" in the forum, spending time with each other. And that's what I could use, a community where everybody know's what a bad...

    My wife died of ALS last Monday, Nov 27,2017

    This is the last time that I will post to this site. I was a care giver for my wife for 2 years....I was in denial about her ALS and never believed it. She had horrible pain before she passed...so anyone who thinks that ALS isn't painful is wrong. Some people with this horrible disease do have...

    Is this really ALS?

    Hi and thanks for letting me join this forum. Let me start off by saying that I am not in denial, I am just following a gut feeling and want to see if anyone would do the same thing. My dad (67) was diagnosed with ALS recently. It started with him having trouble to button up a shirt and sign...

    “Make-a-wish” organizations for those w ALS?

    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...
