Still WAITING to be rehoused! Have applied to 16 housing providers and now 9 months more of having to REALLY STRUGGLE to get up and down these 48 stairs to get out of the house:cry::cry: It's killing me faster than the MND. Some friends contacted Scotland Today tv news and my story was featured...
My best friend and mother Irma Irene Lastra passed on May 31st 2013, roughly 2 years after her diagnoses. I know she is resting in heaven and is now my guardian angel. I know she is doing everything she could do before she was sick in heaven. Dancing, eating, cleaning and all that she enjoyed...
My mom is showing signs of her kidneys shutting down and she isn't able to keep any food or water down. I know the time is getting close to her passing. I'm 33 and my mom is 58. I always thought she would be really old when she died. I mourned for her when I first heard about her diagnoses. I'm...
One week ago at this time I was happy. Wednesday, we got the devastating news that my dear husband has ALS. Since then, all I want to do is cry. My sweetheart is stoic. He is 70, so we knew that our time was limited, but did not know just how limited. But what I read about the disease scares me...
I am 27 (almost 28) years old. I developed shingles on my right forehead May 13. Everyone thought it was poison ivy, and being the hypochondriac that I am, I didn't believe it and googled. It looked just like shingles, and I was officially diagnosed with them on May 18th. The swelling moved...

Second opinion Thursday evening confirmed that my husband 41 has MND
It doesn't seem real. It's all happened so quickly I don't understand. Everything I have read said its takes ages to get diagnosed. I guess he first saw GP 10 months ago, and was dismissed as clumsy. But its only been about a...
I am new here and my husband who is only 30 years old was just diagnosed with ALS a couple of weeks ago. We are going for a second opinion but I pretty much already know what they are going to say.
My question is for those that have loved ones with ALS. How do you show strength when all you...
I was diagnosed with ALS almost two years ago, but I've always had my doubts. One thing that was consistent with the diagnosis was my inability to control my emotions. Mainly I had trouble not laughing excessively and would cry easier than would be considered normal. Though I've never felt...
Just wanted to share the present I am working on for my husband for father's day. I have been scanning pictures of him (have 160 so far) from babyhood thru now and putting them on my computer. I have built a power point slide show with them and am going to put them to music. The bulk of the...
