cry

My dad was actually diagnosed on 12/13/13 and given an educated guess of 4 months of life because of the rate of deteriation at the time. We are now 8 days past the 4 month mark, YAY! I feel like between me, mom the doctors, and home health/hospice we have done a pretty darn good job of taking...

I just found these posts. My husband died on December 21, 2013 after a two year battle with ALS. In August he had a stroke which compounded his problems. I miss him everyday! :cry:

I don't really know where to put this. I am not coping very well at all right now. Mom has gotten worse in the last two months and is nearing the end-stage of this disease. When I'm at work I usually cry most of the day. When I'm at home with her, I alternate between super stressed and...

The feeding tube formula that has been provided (we've tried many different formulas) is causing my grandmother's health decline. :sad: I sometimes give her real food and have been for the last week with great results. :razz: She was no longer constipated and feels so much better without the...

Not sure if this is the correct place for this thread. My mom has been gone for almost three months now. I've been so emotional these past three months. I get so angry so easily and I get hurt or upset and cry so easily. I started a job just after my mom passed. I didn't want anyone to know...

I'm having problems with recurrent back trouble since my nerves in my lower back have been affected by the disease. My chiropractor helped:cry: me once but it keeps on going out. He says it is due to the lack of muscle tone. Anyone here got any idea what to do about it or for the pain...
