I'm still in shock, but my 68-year-old father was diagnosed today after what seems to be a rapid decline. He has difficultly swallowing and speaking and has little control of his right arm and leg. 3 months ago, he was walking and moving fine.

I’ve finally accepted that as parents to two children with different, life threatening illnesses, my husband and I are in an undesirable, yet unique position. The emotional shock, anger and denial over Johnny’s ALS diagnosis at the tender age of 18 remains (probably forever) but has evolved to...
Hi there,

Can emotional liability encompass anger as well as the crying and laughing? I don't see why not; it is an emotion, after all.
I ask this because I find myself perturbed at times and bring into use certain 4 letter words that are usually...
Couple questions ...
1) Is this an ALS symptom? (I don't think it is, but wanted to rule ALS out before wasting my valuable time on Google when I could be watching Lost online)
Dozens of times a day, I "freeze" into place. It happens when I'm walking ... it might take me several minutes to...
