    Introduction

    I've been reading this forum for a while now. My PALS was diagnosed with Bulbar ALS in January. It's been tough watching him try to cope with the diagnosis and what ALS is doing to him. I find this forum to be helpful, and I've learned a lot. I appreciate the abundant support and caring.

Today I was finally able to say the words, "My husband has ALS", out loud without crying. I'd actually practiced it out loud...
