Hello All-
I’ve waited as long as possible before posting to these forums (I’ve been reading them for some time) for fear of somehow insulting/disrespecting the plight of those brave persons living with this disease with my (perhaps) unreasonable concerns. After reading this site on a fairly...

Well I tend to spend my time over on the BFS boards but I guess I can't get this ALS fear to go away completely. I know how annoying it must be to answer these questions over and over and I appreciate anyone who takes the time to respond to me here.
I am Male and just turned 28 years old...
When it rains, it pours.
Two years ago, I fell and ruptured a disc in my neck and one in my spine. Now, the attorney is telling me that the store insurer is refusing to pay for my treatment. Why? They found out I have possible other issues--namely possible ALS--of course they are going to...

I finally found a dentist that would see my husband. It was his old dentist from when we first moved to this area. I really don't like his practice, as his front office staff were very offensive the last time I took him there. (insurance)

- Just about anyone can safely park in a handicap space
- Doctor and dentist offices aren't ready for nonambulatory people
- How expensive wheelchair vans are
- The obscene profit margins on durable medical equipment
- How to eat with my left hand

My left foot has been twitching, cramping and fasisculating like non-stop the latest two months. It feels like it s thinner than the right foot, and I can feel the bones in it when I put it down. I don't want to scare anyone but waiting for the diagnosis is just painful. It starts shaking...
