info

I was wondering if someone can help me with some questions here on PMA my first EMG suggests that spectrum of lower motor neuron only. I did have a second EMG that shows no changes in since prior 6 months ago. I am now at 16 months with no real diagnosis. I cant seem to find much info on...

I'm happy to report the bathroom is in the 'finishing touches' stage as of today. Once it's all dolled up I'll post final pics We weren't able to use the VA grant because we were too far behind the ball in getting things sorted out, but we were able to get a good deal on the work through a...

We've been checking my husband's O2 during the day but hadn't at night. He has complex sleep apnea and REM Behavior Disorder (RBD) and has been on melatonin and a "Respironics BiPAP autoSV Advanced" for around 2 years at night. He's been on the Trilogy on and off throughout the day since...

Hi my name is Sandy, I was diagnosed in June with ALS bulbar onset. I'm trying hard to sort through all the info and find something that will truly slow this disease down. There is so much info and I'm not sure what's legit and what's not. Mine started Nov. last year I noticed that...

I have posted in several other threads about how my van is serving me well, but that I lust after a 4x4, high-ground clearance, wheelchair hauler. Yesterday, I went to McDonalds with a friend and his young daughter. When I pulled in, the only handicap spot was occupied by a pickup. No big...

I've spent a fair bit of time reviewing the info at ALS Untangled, and from what I know, it's a reputable site for PALS re: alternative methods of treatment. The site dismisses most of the remedies out there, although does suggest that "further research" is warranted on some items - for...

I've struggled with where to post this, so please move it if there's a better place, Nikki. I've been working with a design engineer from Invacare who is looking for feedback from PALS and CALS on how we use the chairs and what limitations we still face in order to assist him with the design...

Hi Everyone, I don't have ALS, but helped my sister care for my brother-in-law who had it. He passed away 5 years ago. That was the last time I came to this forum. I found a thread here while searching for info on ALS and conversion disorder. My friend told me that she has ALS. This was a...
