    hospice questions

    I'm not sure if this is an appropriate thread. I am not a caregiver yet but my mom was diagnosed in January 2016. Her decline has been pretty quick with rapid deterioration in respiratory function. She is on the Trilogy 24/7 and is completely tube fed. She is weak but still mobile and spends...

    Bulbar fear

    I didn't want to be back on this site but I have had symptoms that are very concerning. My ALS fear started almost a year ago with fear that my left hand was atrophying, I have had sporadic twitching, and other fears of other muscles cramping but nothing to severe. For almost a month now I...

    Goodbye to all

    I would like to thank the CALS who have stayed after their losses to help us PALS as best as you can. I can name many of you but I'd leave some out. You have made a miserable two years just a little more bearable. I wish for you healing and a return of joy and happiness. And thank you for your...
