My mom was diagnosed with advanced ALS this past Saturday in Tennessee. I drove up from Alabama. My dad drove down from Michigan. By the time I was able to get here they had already sent her home. I knew her husband is an alcoholic but not to the point he can't care for her. My mom isn't...

I'm currently running two threads but on two different topics. Hope that's ok. My husband is on a clinical trial of Pimozide and shortly after starting, he exhibited very worrying side effects. One of those SEs is slurring his words. I'm beginning to worry that it's not just a side effect but...
