    A delayed introduction

    Hello All, I want to first say thank you for taking the time to read this post. I have avoided posting here for about 1 year but due to changes recently I have decided, still with some hesitation, to post.

    Dear Past and Current Caregivers

    I want you to write a book. I would like as many of you as want to contribute 5+ pages about what you have learned about, ALS including tips and tricks, what you have learned about life living with a PALS, and life after your PALS has left. I would put all my energy that I have left into...

    A new book written by the relative of a PALS

    Hi everyone :) I'm posting this here in the General section, rather than in the PEG related area, because I want everyone to see it. Whether or not you, or your PALS have a tube, or plan to have a tube, I think it will interest you. The woman who wrote this recipe book lost her...
