Hello,
I don't have ALS but my best friend was just diagnosed. Aside from falling apart and feeling unbelievably helpless. I want to know what to do to help, I want to be there for her and for her husband and two young children. She has bulbar onset (yes, I have learned more than I ever hoped to learn about this awful thing) and she seems to have a very very slight bit of dementia. So far her main symptoms are the slurred speech - which is worse when she's tired. She is still strong otherwise.
I don't know what to ask - just for some thoughts maybe - what can I do?
-A very very heartbroken friend
