immune

Hello to all. I am thankful for having a forum like this. My dad was dx with bulbar ALS nearly 3 years ago at the age of 72, and I am grateful for every day he remains with us. He is presently on a ventilator but still has control of his arms to write, so he comunicates with us very well...

Hi all, I've been refraining from posting as I don't want to seem like another hypochondriac that's asking dumb questions. However, due to my symptoms increasing in intensity and spreading to different parts of my body I thought I might as well post and get some feedback as I'm going through...

My father has been on the fence regarding a feeding tube for the last 4 months. He is no longer able to swallow any solid foods and has his second appointment with a surgeon to perform the surgery tomorrow. He has already been seen by one surgeon who does not specialize in ALS patients and...

Hi all, I think like most ppl who have ended up here, I'm thinking that there is a slight possibility I might have ALS. That sounds crazy just saying it.....I'm hoping for a listening ear and maybe a few suggestions or stories etc.....basically support. Thanks in advance. So here's my story...

Thank you all for reading my post. I will make it as short as possible. I appreciate any replies or thoughts that you can offer. I am a 46 year old female. My symptoms started in August during a time of high stress and also the rabies vaccine series. My GP and the CBC states the vaccines should...

Update on my mom, she continues to decline quickly. She is now exclusively in a wheelchair as she can no longer use the rollator. She has a home health aid that comes in two times a week for two hours in the mornings but home health aids are expensive. My mom doesn't qualify for palliative or...

Hello.. I have been very hesitant in posting something here. I do not want to waste anyone's time but my fear has bubbled over some. So I am 44 m and 'on paper' I always check out healthy at my physicals. I am fairly active with exercise however over the course of the past few years I have...
