    Any VETS get the Pro-bed from VA?

    Scared and Alone

    I was hoping that I had dermatomyositis but I knew that wasn't causing my weakness or muscle wasting. It was a pretty easy diagnosis for the neurologist even though I still had some muscle strength. My arm muscles were just hanging there. I avoided going to the doctor to hear the news but my...

    New here and hoping for some good suggestions

    I live in Canada and with the winter coming I am having a hard time with staying warm in bed without being trapped. I'm waking up during the night and I can't move the blankets due to the weight and my lack of strength. I bought a silk blanket but it is not warm enough. I thought about maybe a...

    Could I possibly have ALS? Recent slurred speeches

    Hi! I'm a 20 years old male living in Canada. I'm a Korean, so I apologize in advance if my English is bad. Starting several years ago, I've had occasional difficulty breathing along with some chest pain, that gradually built up to cause anxiety issues (hypochondriac). So I decided to go get...

    Starting to use his feeding tube.

    So Tim had his feeding tube put in 2 years ago as his breathing was deteriorating quickly in spite of the fact that he was still mobile. He had it changed to a low profile Mic Key which was great and just needed to be flushed with water to keep it open. On the odd time that I forgot to give...

    ALS patient Commonalities collection

    I was diagnosed with ALS over two years ago. I am still standing and doing most things on my own. The Department of Veterans Affairs Canada recognizes ALS as service associated, and they have been very helpful and financially supportive. The 90% of us that have the sporadic kind of this disease...
