    Venting tomorrow---which will surely cause more venting

    I think I'm officially graduating from "we're making the most of it while we can" to "Yep, this really, really sucks". It's been a tough few months, with five ER visits and two hospital stays, three cases of pneumonia and one of the flue. No Matt, when you stop choking on every bite or sip it...

    Hello everyone. So a bit of background for me. I had some issues swallowing for over a year. I had an EMG in Oct 2017 that indicated diffuse denervation. I thought it was multiple sclerosis at first, then Kennedy disease then oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy due to wishing it wasn't ALS and...

    Can someone please help me out?

    Listen, I understand that tons of people post here thinking they have ALS. And I know how annoying it must be for those of you who actually have it to read these posts from people who don't have it and are just blowing things out of proportion. But I'd like some input into my situation. I mean...

    New ALS Diagnosis

    Hi folks, I was diagnosed by a neurologist 12/2017 and go to see a second neurologist on 01/2018 who I'm told is an ALS expert. I'm in the "scared out of my mind" phase. I am looking for some sort of 'guidance" if such a thing exists. I was sort of horrified at how the first doc kind of left...
