I first want to thank everyone for their quick response to my other thread and I'm not sure if I should be starting a new thread or posting on the old one, but, I have a question and am looking for a little insight. My sil was told by her doctors that she should not be living alone and is very independent. Is this because of the the depression or because she has ALS. She is only recently diagnosed and still is working. Her symptoms are weakness and slurred speech. They have put her on a drug to help slow down her symptoms from becoming more severe. Should she be looking for a roommate? I'm not sure that she's willing to do that yet. I feel that she would emotionally be happier doing what she is doing, but, I don't want her to fall or something. She admits to having some depression and can't believe that the human body can cry so much, but, she is trying to move day to day. Any suggestions on this? Thanks, Tanya
