For the past few days, I've had pretty awful right arm muscle spasms. They usually start as a slight twitch in my hand but quickly progress to the point that my entire arm is jerking uncontrollably. It is quite debilitating, given that I'm in high school and am expected to take notes. I went...

I love the peg tube. Easy to use. Forget it's there most of the time. Healed great and easy to keep clean. Only problem was theformula. Made me have explosive movements. Hubby read the ingrdient list on the can and said no more of this. So now we blend. I eat healthier than I ever did...

I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. Steve started with the memory issues a while ago but it has gotten progressively worse. Now he is.getting very confused about basic things. No new meds in a long time. Thoughts? The VA psych said she thought it was the als but...

I’ve slept quite comfortably in a hospital bed until about 6 weeks ago when I became very uncomfortable in the bed. My discomfort coincides with the loss of arm strength which makes it impossible to move in the bed. Being unable to transfer myself I rely on my wife to put me in bed with the...

So sad to tell you all my hunny is finally at peace..... He got his wings at 2:00 this morning, Jan21 , 2015. Thank you all for your love and support. He passed on his own terms, we didn't have to start heavy meds, just passed peacefully in his sleep... I love you all, and will check in when I can.

Good morning all, Yesterday was a weepy day. I just kept thinking about how much this disease has taken already and it seems that we have only just begun. I miss going out to dinner with my husband. I miss holding his hand while sitting together watching TV. I miss him. He is still able to...

Mom cries all the time now. I do not see how it could be pain, because she is on enough pain meds to sink a ship. It is doubly worse because she cannot really communicate what is wrong. She will nod that there is pain, but then in a few, she will shake her head when we ask about pain...or she...
