drug trials

Thank you for adding me/us to the forum. In brief, here is our story: My husband lost his mother to ALS when she was 59 years old. She had one aunt, one uncle, and two first cousins who also passed from ALS. There were a couple other family members who may or may not have had early signs, but...

Hi Guys, First off, thanks for reading. I started a thread on the general discussion forum, but I thought this was probably the better place to ask my questions. Basically, my mom was diagnosed with ALS last month, but when she saw a specialist 2 weeks ago, he told her she may not have ALS...
