    Numbness, muscle twitching, and no diagnosis? Read this.

    This post is for those who are currently experiencing numbness and muscle twitching and, like me, tend to automatically assume the worst case scenario. I felt compelled to write this a year and a half after first experiencing neurological issues because #1, it seems that a lot of folks who...

    Second EMG

    My father has been suffering from upper motor neuron signs over the past three years, with no apparent lower involvement (clean EMG and still no fasciculations), which led doctors to think of PLS.

    Slings for hoyer's and ceiling lifts

    Yay...I received my new sling this week from the Osprey sling company in England. It fits better and is much more comfortable. I was afraid my arm was going to break with the other one. The new one was 1/3 the cost of the old one. They don't ship to the US but if you have a friend in...

    Lung Function Question

    My husband was diagnosed in May 2017, but we can look back and see symptoms that we didn't recognize in August 2016. He had his first ALS Clinic visit in June 2017. At that time his Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) was 3.9 and they said his lungs were great. It dropped to 3.6 in October and 3.3 in...
