Is this the place for me? I have been diagnosed with als which has taken almost 4 years to diagnose. I am female, 56 yrs old, and have gone from being a caregiver to others to being a person that has no balance, and can't even stand up on my own. I have always done all the lawn work and am not even able to do my dishes now I am so weak. It all seems so useless. I guess I just need someone with the same symptoms to talk to.
