Hello. My husband, aged 68, was officially diagnosed with sporadic, limb onset ALS on Dec. 3rd/2015.

There is an aquaintance of ours who is convinced that a specific diet high in the right saturated fats will eliminate my hubby's symptoms of ALS. She contacted me several times in the fall to tell me that if we just followed this diet he would literally regrow muscles within three months. But...
Husband needs another MRI to rule out brachial or TOS but a insurance has denied the test stating they feel it is not life or death. He had one of his back 3 months ago when they were thinking pinched nerve. Now his 2nd EMG shows abnormalities in his arms and legs. ANY thoughts suggestions...
If anyone out there has exercised this option on your life policy, can you share how long it took to process and get the funds? I have completed the paperwork and submitted the physician statement and medical records but the only thing my life insurance company has said is that it is with...
Greetings:
It is hard to say where I should start; I guess from the begenning. I have been having strange little 'issues' for several years. It seems like they have been coming and going. I generally do not have time for a doctor visit so I have been letting them go, thinking "That's what...

Hi Cals and pals what information do you have regarding life insurance on pals. My PALS has a small amount that loses money up until a certain amount and he had this set up from a previous marriage so she wouldn't get any money off his death. Well fast forward here we are with hardly any...
The cause of Kathy's death was aspirating her own fluid into her lungs, which happened at home.
We struggled to try to clear her throat, while her face and hands turned blue. My mother was holding her face and shouting at her to keep trying to breathe. It was harrowing.
Now when I am falling...
