Hello all....
My husband of 5 years and partner of 10 was diagnosed yesterday at UCH in Denver. We are in utter shock right now. We just had our third baby in January and our other children are 2.5 and 5. My husband is only 35 years old and he is crushed with this diagnosis. I guess my...

Hi, It's taken me a few months to get my head around this and register. My husband Steve was diagnosed January 2nd of this year. We had been told it was chronic Lymes, but then when things didn't improve the doubt started to set in for Steve, and we went to see a Neurologist, who tested Steve...
Hello,
I'm new here. My husband has ALS. Started in his hands and shoulders so he can't really use them. It's now effecting his hip and foot too. He fell down the stairs last night and went head first into the wall. His neck is very sore and two fingers are numb and he can't move them. He...
My sister called this morning to say mom fell and broke her hip again. All I can think is thank God she's in California where sis can handle things. I did the right thing by sending her there. I also need to get out there to see her. Thank God hubby's brother moved here--two days ago. Talk...
Hello All, I’ve been lurking on these pages for some time now and feel I should post. My mom was diagnosed with ALS in January of this year. For her, it started out a few years ago as a normal jog one morning. By the middle of her run something was wrong with her left leg, she couldn’t lift...

Question for you all,
Have any of you had this one? When I get to laughing I have trouble stopping (bulbar effect), then all my muscles in the the gut area cramp up and I can't get any air in. Usually I just leave the room and clam down, except the other night I locked up so fast that I...
Hi guys I know I may be panicking a bit here and assuming the worst but I am genuinely concerned for my health for the first time ever and no doctors are giving me answers.
It started about 2 weeks ago (im sure some of you are rolling your eyes, im sorry), I did a leg day and hit it pretty hard...
Hey guys,
It all started about a two weeks ago when I was at a dinner party. I was pouring a drink out of the bottle when I realized my hand was shaking pretty bad. It felt shaky/weak and felt off the rest of the night. Woke up the next day and my hand felt tired. It felt like it was harder to...
Hi everyone,
It's been a couple of months since I have last posted and it's been a very tough few months since my Dad was diagnosed.
He has now started to become very weak and his speech is very slurred and has fell 3 times now in recent weeks which luckily haven't been serious and hasn't...
I'm a 33 yr old mother of 3. I've been having a strange problem with swallowing for about 3 months. I mostly notice it when i'm swallowing my saliva, it feels like i forgot how to swallow and feels like it's about to go down the wrong tube. Occationally I choke a little when drinking and...
