Hi, I am posting about symptoms that I have been seeing in my father over the last 2 years.
He is 73.
He started having trouble swallowing his food about 2 years ago. He seen several doctors, and had a scope done, and it was brushed off as aging. He was told to chew his food better, and...
Hello Everyone,
I hope this is in the correct forum. My dad was recently ( 1/4/18 ) diagnosed with ALS at University of Utah. My mother and I are most likely in denial, however, something just does not seem right from all of the research we have done. I would like to have some insight from...

Ever since I was a kid life did not give me an easy time.
I was weird looking and curious enough to get kids to pick on me in kindergarden.
Due to frequent fights and pshyical trauma I developed a speech problem that made sure I get molested and bullied in school, in my teenage years I got a...
Okay, this forum must get all sorts of hypochondriacs posting "do I have it messages." Problem is, since ALS has no definitive test, one wonders if patients with ALS aren't the most reliable in getting a diagnosis. PCP's seem to brush it off and not even consider it. Here is my situation:

My beloved hubby passed away on December 3, 2010 after a two year struggle with ALS. He was a very good patient, till the last day. He actually did not die from the ALS; he got pneumonia. The doctors cleaned his lungs 3 times but they kept fillling out with fluids...

My husband ("beanjt" screen name on this forum) has a constant bad taste in his mouth. It started almost two years ago, just before he noticed his first signs of neck weakness.
It is difficult to describe the taste -- not really metallic, more sour-like, though. He has tried many remedies...
