Viviana and Megan,

I am so sorry that you both have been diagnosed with ALS. Welcome to the forum. My Dad has ALS which is why I found this forum. You will be amazed by the kindness, wisdom and support you will find here. I am rooting for you both!

Aloha Megan and Viviana:

Welcome to the forum and I am sorry for your diagnosed. I am new to the forum also, diagnosed in 2008 - everyone is very helpful and knowledgeable. It feels like experts are answering your questions and they are all so caring. They inspire you and give you hope.

Your young age touches my heart, I have a 25 year old son.

A well known artist from Hawaii had the "inherited" type of ALS and she lived 6 years and continued to do art and inspired many. Keep a positive attitude and enjoy everyday.
