    I Can't Reconcile Myself to This...

    Yet, what choice do I actually have. Brian was diagnosed 6 months ago. He has a weaker left hand and has progressed to using a cane, mostly to to strength and balance issues with his left leg. Lately, I just can't stand it. I wound up crying in my bosses office just mentioning that my husband...

    37 yo Husband Referred to clinic yesterday.

    Thoughts. But much better

    Hi all again. Hope you are all happy and coping as well as possible. My anxiety is a lot better now and all my 'symptoms' linked to ALS (or so I thought) have gone. However I still have thought in my mind that my grandad may have started the genetic ALS and will pass it down. Would this...

    Thank you!!

    Life has gotten in the way of my spending much time here lately and, when I do come to the Forum, I mostly read since I truly have no sage advice to offer folks here.

    Hope it helps others

    Some days are shit. And sometimes you get a bunch of them in a row. And sometimes it gets too much, and there is crying and gnashing of teeth. I saw my psychologist. I said "I'm not coping very well". She said: What kind of person deals with this without getting upset? The only way through...

    Husband just diagnosed

    My husband was just diagnosed with ALS. Symptoms started in December but seem to be moving quickly. He just turned 65 and has always been on the go. I'm trying to do one day at a time, but am overwhelmed with the big picture. It's scary to see what's happening to him & how it's affecting him...
