I cant believe I have to post this question. Not because I dont trust this very trustworthy group, but because the pulmonologist should have given me some criteria.
Tom is late stage ALS. He is rapid progressing so we have only had the bipap perhaps 4 weeks. Even when it arrived Tom only...
These days, they all blend together, so I am acting like it's Tunesday... And happy hour has arrived. What good are some cold beers without some good music? Attached is a link to a song by Jason Becker. I believe I've mentioned him before, but this song just came on my Spotify playlist, so I...
Hi everyone.
I apologize in advance for the length of this post. I’ve only been a registered user for less than 24 hours but am really impressed with the empathy and knowledge of posters and moderators. What a fantastic resource. I am on this site to not only utilize the nuts and bolts of...

The minister started his Children’s Sermon with a question, “Who knows what a Resurrection is?”
Without missing a beat a young boy says, “I don't know, but If you have one lasting more than 4 hours call your physician.”
The pastor is still laughing.
I want to preface my first post here to say that my concern has led me to investigate about ALS in a way that makes me feel a deep sympathy for everyone affected by ALS (whether in his/her own flesh, or through a family member.) I also want to help those who make this forum possible.
I will...

Chally’s spirit left his body as he slept in the early morning hours of Wednesday April 3rd. He continued to live his life to the fullest despite ALS wrecking his body bit by bit.
This forum and all of you were so important to him. He talked about this community of friends every day.

I was diagnosed with progressive Bulbar Palsy I. January 2018. Although I could no longer swallow or speak by April of 2018, a PEG. helped and things were ok until Christmas of 2018. My limbs are weakening but I’m making the best of that. My biggest worry is my eyes. Even after sleeping well...
Dear forum users,
I've read over several threads and you are so patient and kind to everyone that visits, I take my hat off to you.
