depression

Hello, My name is Lauren and I'm 24 years old. First of all, my heart goes out to anyone suffering from ALS, and any family members as well. I admire how truly brave all of you are. The reason I'm posting is that I have been noticing some strange symptoms over the last couple months, and I...

Hi Everyone, This is my very first forum I have ever done. I’ve debated for quite some time now about posting so here goes nothing. I’m a 33year old female. I have 3 small children. I know something is going on with my system but I don’t know what. Last spring I got massive head fog and body...

Hi, I'm Brook. I didn't know where else to post this. I'm not really asking if I have ALS. I am introducing myself and venting my fears to a group of compassionate people. I read all the stickies and apologize in advance if I'm too verbose. First off, I have been lurking on this site for...

Hi All. I need some advice. I am 40 a 40 year old woman. About 8-9 years ago I developed body wide twitching which led me to google of course and then sent me in a horrible spiral of anxiety/depression for roughly a year.I had all kinds of perceived this and that. I went to my gp who eventually...

SO this morning my husband calls the ALS Clinic and gives them an update on his ER visit yesterday that turned out to be ear issues. Somehow, the topic comes up that he apparently has never had a Lyme test. Not sure how they could have missed that in a million blood draws but apparently per...

Hi to all , I am a 53 year old male who has always been very active ,had a physical job supporting young Autistic people and lived life to the full , on Christmas day 2016 I woke up with a dull ache in my back and thought nothing of it but as the days went past I didn't feel right so much so...

When can we, or should we, restrict online speech? Should cyberbullying be a crime, like it is to shout “fire” in a crowded theater or to yell “jump!” at someone poised on a ledge? What if the online message is written with compassion, but has the predictable effect of tipping someone over the...
