    What have I done?

    My last day of work was last Friday. I'm still able to get around on a couple of AFOs and a cane, so it doesn't seem like it's time to stop. My arms seem to be holding up, little issues with dexterity, but over all OK. The deciding factor came down to fatigue. I work all day and I sleep till...

    Hi Everybody

    I was diagnosed with ALS this March. I've been visiting the forum and feel as if I know you a little bit already. I'm not very good with computers (iPad), but decided it was time to stop being a spectator and try to participate. So I'm with you officially now, to be strong against this...

    New here with some UMN disease, possibly PLS?

    Hi everyone. I just thought I would register and say hello. I've been reading and getting lots of useful information and links and thought I would introduce myself. First of all, we are not sure exactly what is wrong with me yet, but it some kind of upper motor neuron problem. For about a...

    Driving?

    Just another question, at what stage of ALS did you decide it was time to stop driving. I just went from a stick shift to an automatic because of left foot problems with shifting. Thanks.

Idk which one or how I did it. :razz: So, last night my husband said I'm to stay in bed for 2 days to prevent further injury. I just thought it was kinda funny...

    Where to Begin

    It is very difficult to write this post. I am one of the caregivers who has complained about how much ALS changed my life. Well, it has really hit home now. My PALS lost his 2 year 4 month battle on Sunday August 14th. This last week has been filled with all those things associated with...

    How does UMN speech impairment progress?

    In November I started to lose my ability to sing more than a few songs, and reading aloud to my niece got more tiring. Then I lost my singing range, once a first soprano, and anything over alto would leave me hoarse for a few days. That was when I realized what was happening, but it wasn't very...
