    Guilt

    I can't help but feeling guilty - massively so. We were so late in finding the diagnosis - even after 3 neurologist. It progressed so fast and I was blinded to anything serious. As it progressed quickly I was foiled at every turn: Took time to get certain meds, time to get a peg tube, time to...

    Free to a good home ... or any home for that matter...

    1 slightly used husband with a diagnosis of ALS. He has wicked mood swings but has not bitten anyone as of yet. He may or may not speak to you in a day. He may snap at you for nothing, or get frustrated with your kids who love him and would do anything for him. He likes to get up numerous times...

    Frustrated - 2 steps forward, 1 step back

    Sorry for the rant in advance. I am frustrated with this ALS. We have had many blessings and support since I was diagnosed but it seems as though we are just barely treading water. When we were told we were going to need a handicap van we were very thankful my grandmother had the van she and...

    Want to rant

    I wanted to rant but after I typed it out I kept thinking of all I have to be thankful for and what an angel my PALS is. And she never gives in to ranting. So I guess that now my rant is that this disease sucks and I need to man up. "Ain't got time to bleed." (Movie reference)
