bipolar

Hi, I was adopted when I was young and did not know my full medical history. I just discovered that the C9 mutation runs in my family. Over the last 4 years, 3 people have died from this - my uncle and aunt from ALS and my mom from FTD. I am unsure if anyone else is currently affected in my very...

As it's been almost a year now since My Lizzy passed and as some know I have someone new in my life whom I think the world of. My G/F was very upfront about her Bipolar M/D condition right from when we started just chatting as old friends about How I was doing and if the kids needed anything (...

My wife has Bulbar ALS, diagnosed since Oct. 2016. Some background prior to her diagnosis is necessary to get context: My wife, myself, and our now 19 yo daughter moved from RI to FL to care for my 91 year old Dad in July 2013. We moved in with him. He was very demanding and...

Hey guys, been running from the dreaded ALS for a while now. It seems like it is inevitable at this point. Presented with eye fatigue, breathing difficulty, and weakness in one of each limb. Twitches started in legs at the same time I noticed the llimb weakness. Not much long later, I had...

THE idea of putting a mind-altering drug in the drinking water is the stuff of sci-fi, terrorist plots and totalitarian governments. Considering the outcry that occurred when putting fluoride in the water was first proposed, one can only imagine the furor that would ensue if such a thing were...

What a great group of people you all are -- thanks for providing this service! My sister has an important neurologist appointment on Wednesday, and I'd love some advice on the questions we should be sure to ask. She has dramatic weakness and wasting of her thighs/quads. Some weakness in her...
