It's been a rough couple of days and I am really struggling. I need to vent a bit, and I feel like this is the only place where anyone will actually understand.
I had to call an ambulance to take my PALS to hospital on Friday night. He's been constipated on and off for a couple of weeks and we...

I am new to this forum. My husband was diagnosed several years ago, although looking back, I see the changes in his personality well before his diagnosis, but didn't know what it was at the time.
I try to take things one day at a time, but finding myself increasingly drained of energy. There...
I have lingered a lot on these pages the past few months, but not really participated. Thank you to all of you for sharing your stories, insights and experiences. It’s been so helpful to me so often, and comforting to know there is such a supportive community of people here who actually know...
This is going to be a long rant....my sister in law was over at my fathers house this past weekend and decided to go through his emails and start deleting things that she didn't want anyone to see. She was under the pretext that she was trying to log into his FB account to show my sister how to...

Hi All,
I'm having a really down day and need some help... and probably hugs.. i don't know.

I know I am 100% guilty here also for not posting a lot, but what the heck happened to everyone discussing PLS? When I joined this forum in April of 2008 it was the place to be. I remember refreshing the PLS page every hour and there were new comments or topics. Now the last post was from 07/02...
Hi all,
My PALS insists on driving. He has been and continues to. Its when we go on a family trip that I actually see first hand how he is doing. I have to say there is no swerving and he is slow, constant and safe basically. However, the other day he insisted on driving my girls and a...
Sometimes I even hate to do a rant like this because I feel like I'm whining. It's taken me 24 hours to get up the courage to put pen to paper, as it were.
Yes, I'm struggling. The why has multiple reasons. These are on no particular order.
1) sleep. Hasn't been going well. Mostly due to the...
