Hi,
I am new here. My husband was told almost three months ago that he has ALS. He is losing his voice now and has trouble eating now. He frist started having trouble with his voice back in Sept. of last year. He has been to all kinds of doctors,an finally was sent to a nerve doctor. He goes to the ALS clinic for the first this month on the 25th. I can't believe how long you have to wait to get started in this clinic. We live in NC,the clinic is in Durham,NC,about an hour from our home. They have Great Doctors at Duke in Durham. I know they are going to put a feeding tube in, but I don't think he is going to like this very well. But he is in good sprits. All I do is cry when he is not around. This is the hardest thing I have every faced. I keep saying its not right. He is only 55, an we have only been married for 11 years. He keeps telling me he is going to live for 55 more years. I just need to hear how some of you deal with this. I am praying for everyone who has to go through this aweful time of their life. I know the Lord is doing this for a reason, but it is still hard to understand. So God Bless you all. And thanks for reading this.
