Darcey received her Tobii late last year. She could not use it at first as they neglected to provide her with a mount for her wheelchair. Now she has a mount and has begun to use it. One of her greatest joys is being able to communicate with her friends on Facebook (FB). As she still comes...

My husband has brought up a delicate problem that has been developing over the last week :oops: He is having trouble cleaning himself after a bowel movement. Not the reaching part but grasping the toilet paper and applying sufficient pressure to clean (I hope this is not TMI for everyone). At...

Hello everyone! First of all I'd like to apologize from everyone who has ALS diagnosed. It is not my intention to mock anyone or sound disrespectful. I genuinely wish to get view from people who are experiencing the disease first hand. I'm a 36 year old male and I have to admit that I have...

Hi, my previous thread ended up rambling on so I am glad it has closed. I have not been on this site for a while as I was taking some of the members advice, and my EMG is due on 8/4 so hopefully most of my concerns will be addressed then. However, my quick question for the day is regarding limb...

Dear Forum members, I read the sticky and searched a lot in the internet, still I am not sure if I can exclude I have MND. That's my story. My symptoms started in the left hand around 2 1/2 years ago. First some uncontrollable muscle movement and then 6 month later the atrophy was visible. I...

The last year has been filled with many odd and unanswered things. I am into bodybuilding as a hobby. About 8 months ago I started noticing my form was off no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get the left side to match the right. Fast forward a few months, fatigued during normal activites, out...

On The Wings of Sparrows Bound by movement. Bound by speach. Bound by the unknown and fear. I close my eyes and dream. The Ties that binds falls apart. And seek the flight of sparrows. To dance on the freedom of the wind. Not an eagle nor falcon. Sometimes overlooked but always there. Reality...
