Hello, everyone.
My husband (age 50) was just diagnosed with ALS. I am looking for support and resources. I found your forum on the ALSASAC (Sacramento) website.
When my husband falls down, I cannot pick him up. This causes frustration for both of us. It hurts to not be able to help him. (He weighs about 250 pounds, and I weigh 111. When I say that I can't pick him up, I really can't pick him up.)
This has come on fast, and it is progressing quite rapidly. He first had symptoms of drop foot in April. He has almost no use of his right leg now. He is using his wheelchair much more frequently now. He has tremors in his hands.
I thank you all in advance for any help you can give me.
