    Advice Please

    Hi all, hope you're all feeling ok. My Mother was diagnosed as having MND today (or they're 98% sure at least) and although we suspected it for some months, it's still a horrible shock.

    Another view on Ventilators to consider

    I am still researching whether or not to go to a ventilator when I need one. However, I just got out of the hospital after a 4 day stay due to a high cpk count of 1450, and my kidneys were shuting down. I had no urine all night before I went into the hospital. So I may not reach the point of...
