vent

Hi, so I'm 22 and have been experiencing widespread twitching (including tongue and facial twitching) for about 6 or 7 months now. Started with some twitches in my body then to my tongue then came back with a vengeance in my thighs face feet and thumbs. Experiencing a lot of other symptoms but...

t's been awhile since I posted but tonight I needed to share my thoughts. My best friend was diagnosed about 2 yrs ago with ALS, muscle onset. She is now totally non weight bearing and her left arm is pretty much useless. She still looks great, even has gained weight. She eats,drinks,talks all...

My husband is on a vent and I am dealing with a lot of mucus plugs. I give him plenty of water and mucinex twice a day. I also shoot saline bullets in his trach. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hello Friends. This is only like my fourth day being on the forum but I would like to tell those of you who have read and responded to my post thank you so much for your response. I also kind of wanted to take this time to tell those of you who are worried about ALS that I completely understand...

Sorry to make so many threads, just don't want to jam so much into one. Just want to vent and get some advice. My hubby just doesn't seem to understand or accept or something what is going on. I've tried to get him to read things online and he won't. And since I don't have a firm...
