Tom is miserable. He wants to throw up but really can't. Vomiting needs the diaphragm, his is severely compromised. The mucous he suctions (and what he does throw up) I think is tinged with blood, it's dark in any case. He has NO fever at all. I was thinking pneumonia. But does pneumonia...
Dear all,
I have been reading this site for over 6 months now and let me start by thanking you for the generous service you provide to worried people like me.
I'm a 29 year old male. My symptoms started in around May of last year, with body-wide twitching and a tight sensation in the left...
trying to compare ALS to a disease called Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome wanting people to not waste water, etc., etc. I told them that most ALS patients would volunteer to vomit 24/7 if it would rid them of ALS.
It has been a week since my mum was told by her neurologist that she has ALS. She is 57 and up until 14 months ago, she had been in good health her entire life. I am still in a complete state of shock and somewhat of denial. I don't want to burden my mum with questions I have to bring to her...

Hello,
I am new here and hope someone here can help. My mother has ALS since July. She has slowly lost her ability to speak over the past month. At the same time she can't seem to keep anything down and has started vomiting after eating. She was scheduled to go to the Mayo Clinic during an...
2012 has gotten off to a very difficult start. Not only have we battled a staph infection, but are now dealing with immobilization of Bill's stronger arm, as he suffered a devastating fall, breaking the humeral head of his right shoulder. In addition, he has been in the hospital for several...
I have read all of the stickies and have a question or two for all of you. I thank you in advance for listening. I seem to get worse about every month. I started with slurred speech, then dizziness, whole body tremors, twitches that are growing more each day, I have noticed that I have been...
OK Wise Ones! I need help.
My husband throws up frequently after he eats. If he starts coughing, after he has eaten a meal or snack, he coughs and gags and it all comes back up. He also sneezes during these episodes. He's always had a strong gag reflex but this is scary. The only time we...
