so last week, he was told that the weakness in his arms was probably ALS. He's had MRIs, the test where he is shocked and we're waiting for the results of blood tests. The doctor is a director of an als society here in new york and believes that this is ALS (we're getting a second opinion after the blood work, of course). Needless to say, we're both freaking out, though differently. I took a couple days of work so we could go up to Cape Cod for some escapism, but now I'm back here and back to be so scared.
He doesn't want to think about it at all yet, and I'm not about to force it on him, but should I be starting to make adjustments by adding vitamin supplements, getting both of us in to therapists (psychological as well as the physical one he starts next week), etc?
