Hello Everyone,
My name is Brendan and I am new on this forum site. My Dad was diagnosed with the bulbar ALS when I was 21 (I'm now 23). He recently passed away on March 15, 2012. I miss him dearly and he truly is my hero.
I joined this site because I feel like I belong here. I'm studying in college (5th year pharmacy student) and I am having a hard time relating to my classmates and making new friends. I know I will open up again at some point but it is still very hard loosing my father the way I did. Another reason I joined this site is because I want to try to help other people who are are dealing with ALS. So many people helped my family and I really want to pass on the information that helped my family. I can also really empathize with people dealing with ALS or other terminal-like illnesses.
If you have any questions just ask. I'm a pretty down to earth guy. I look forward to interacting with you guys in the future!
