Hi. Firstly thanks to those who gave advice to me 9 months ago at the start of diagnosis. Igelb, Atsugi and Tillie particularly your compassion and knowledge helped no end. I was initially diagnosed with BFS but after 3 clean Emg's I have had a setback with a fourth. Denevrvation was found in...
Hey,
As I wrote in the "New diagnosis" forum, my father was diagnosed a little over a week ago. Now, I have a question which is a bit crazy, but was wondering if someone could answer for me...

Tomorrow will mark 2 weeks since my husband received his official ALS diagnosis. I feel like I have known for a while, but it sure didn't soften the blow. All of this has seemed to happen very fast. Our first clue that something was wrong was last September, 2015, while he was wakeboarding he...

A relative has just been diagnosed with als and I am devastated. I don't know how I am going to be able to cope. Is there anyone in the Manchester area who I can talk to? Please help
Hi,
I have been a member on the forum for many years because I have a dear friend with ALS and have found some helpful information here. She is actually doing fairly well and we are blessed to have her in our lives 15 years after her diagnosis.
