    My mother's mental state... she is so cruel.

    My mother was diagnosed last year. The majority of her body has succumbed to ALS. She can still speak, move her left arm, and her neck. Over the past few weeks, her mental state has changed. She has always been someone who speaks her mind, and in some cases - should not - but rarely to...

    Progressive use of the Trilogy bi-pap

    My wife uses the Trilogy about 12 hours a night and then about 2 hours with an afternoon nap. Her last FVC test score was 25.

    Leg and heel pain all night long

    My wife is on the noninvasive ventilator 12 hours at night and looks forward to that time — except that there are nights when she has leg pain most of the night. These pains are debilitating and don’t respond to Tylenol, Hylands Leg Cramp pills, heat, cold, massage. I reposition her 3-4 times...

    Advice very much appreciated

    My name is Patrick and I'm a 25 year old male in the UK. I feel quite certain that I have ALS and I was wondering if anyone had any kind advice to offer. Apologies for the long post but I feel like the onset of symptoms has been quite odd and perhaps worth sharing. The story starts six weeks...

    Shoulder blade & lower back pain

    Does anyone know how to alleviate shoulder blade & lower back pain? It happens at night when I go to sleep. I'm using pressure alternating air mattress . It doesn't help much. Lateral rotating bed is too expensive and it's not covered by Medicare.
