insurance

Hello, firstly I'd like to apologize for my extremely bad setup of this post, I am not very good at this. I developed foot drop in my right foot (right handed) about 3 weeks ago and went to 2 different doctors. The first mentioned a pinched nerve in my back and sent me to an orthopedic doctor...

Just curious how many PALS take pain meds, when did you start them, and what type of pain? I still have mobility in all four limbs. I've had cramps in my left leg and foot for over a year...no bid deal. Now I'm getting horrible pain in my trunk area, particularly my back all the time. I...

Good morning. I am in that in between phase where my diagnosis could go either way. All preliminary tests do not look positive for a good long term outlook so it's important that I begin some planning for myself and my family prior to my upcoming trip to my neuromuscular specialist and...

Well it seems that that little bladder full of air that makes your seat on the wheelchair so comfortable can spring a leak. They tell me that the replacement is $573! Unbelievable. I'm just hoping it is covered by insurance, but not holding my breath on that one. Didn't realize how comfortable...

I have been newly diagnosed as "Possible ALS" by my Neurologist and Primary physician following a whole series of testing. Most of which I didn't even understand. I actually was seeing the Neurologist for a seizure disorder when we discovered the muscle fasciculations slowed EMG waves and...

Hi All, Just wanted to introduce myself. I was thilled to find this forum. I have been on others, but this is the first I've found directed at the CALS. My Husband, Brian, was dx in July of 07. He actually started with symptoms in the winter of 04-05. He started limping. He wouldn't go...

Hubby had an episode of extreme (even more so than usual) fatigue for about a week. On Thursday he would not eat or drink anything and laid in bed all day. Friday morning he was short of breath...not gasping for breath but not able to take full breaths either. We went to the emergency room at...

So I am sitting here with "nothing" to do. The house is clean, the laundry is done, the bills are paid, etc. Sitting here and not letting my mind go crazy is so very hard. For years I kept a lid on the death box so I could survive intact. Now with Steve's death, the lid is off the box and...

I am a CALS, and my PAL does not have any insurance. I am looking for a Trilogy. Please let me know if you have one to sell or donate. thank you so much, Anu

An interesting occurrence has me reflecting on my day. I have been taught to make my amends promptly when I am in the wrong. But, I have also been taught not to have to bow down and be stepped all over. So, I am not sure how or if I will properly word this in order to make myself or my question...
