clinics

Ok.. I said I would not post there unless I have medical confirmation of my state. However, this is driving me crazy and completely took over me. I cannot do anything except for crying all the time. I started feeling very weird feelings in my right leg since New Year. First of all, it felt like...

UREVIEW ALS is a complex disease and those diagnosed along with their families are likely to interact with a number of different medical experts and support systems along the way. This part of ALS.net is meant as a resource for PALS and CALS to find those resources, such as neurologists...

Hello I have a follow up appountment at the ALS clinic next month which I am approaching with a bit of dread. I am scheduled for another emg then as well. There are no real options with regards to second opinions here on the Canadian west coast, so I may look south, should I desire a second...

I am upset, frustrated, and kinda angry. I was worried because none of the ALS clinics have contacted me about an appointment even though the referrala were supposed to be sent June 11. I checked 3 times with my doctors office, and was told they would send the next day. I actually went there 2...

Hi everyone. I feel like this sounds like a selfish question, but how does a caregiver/family member cope with what is happening? My dad was diagnosed 10/2014 and my parents and brother live in North Carolina. I fly down every 6-8 weeks to visit/go to clinics. My moods usually seem worse...

I have a unique question regarding financial aid or help I have a friend who was diagnosed a couple of years ago He has a family of 6 in his household Because of the health insurance options were so high he opted out of insurance for himself that pertained specifically to his ALS...

I have an appointment with an ALS clinic tomorrow. I'm nervous about it- originally I was glad to have it. Now I don't want to start seeing doctors again. I was diagnosed two years ago and haven't been on the medical roller coaster since. I found an ALS support group and was referred to this...
