In the short time I have been a member of this forum, just over a year, I have noticed quite a change.
At first people would give good advice and try and be as helpful as possible...(Those people are still on here but less of them).
Lately I've seen the trend of trying to convince people what...
A question about the next neurology appointment
I essentially have three options
1) NCS/EMG at my current hospital through my Neuromuscular specialist
2) NCS/EMG with consult with the first Neurologist to give me an NCS and Sympathetic Skin Response test
3) Do nothing
My recent appointment...
I am not posting here very often as I would like to because it's so difficult for me to type and compose a whole post using just one or two unaffected fingers on my weak and atrophied hands.
It sometimes takes me over an hour to compose a single post because of my condition.
I believe the...
Hi everyone, first posting here.
My partner was diagnosed in September, confirmed in December. So far the progression is slow. Presenting in one leg, he's experiencing some foot drag.
The biggest problem right now and I know this sounds bad but he became an instant invalid after the diagnosis...
My wife seems so cruel to me. She always does what I call a drive by. She asks a question as she is walking by and keeps walking and as I answer she just yells from the other room mumble mumble mumble. It feels so mean. If I even ask for anything I get the same response. I asked 1 thing in a...

I keep trying.
We barely exist on my SSDI a d the foodstamps. Barely. The electric is ggoi g to be shut off on the 15th, shrug. They denied the medically needy thing, they said we didn't return the forms. Hello We didn't get the forms.
I've trashed my back so bad, I couldn't go with Mel to the...
Today I was listening to Browning's and John Lennon's "Grow Old Along With Me". Tears flowing down my face. And I realized...
I'm tired. Tired of the suffering, the misery, the loss. Isn't what this song is supposed to be for everyone? Why do we have to have children suffering from cancer...
Hey All
So, time for a rant and a rave.
I'm not sure if it was the cat under my feet or the hole in the floor, but I killed my foot. I was trying to miss the cat and stepped into the hold in my bedroom floor. Heard a horrid crunch and now, my foot is feels pretty broken. I don't think it...
Rant: I don't like Friday's when it's the 13th. I usually don't do much on those days. I'm not really superstitious as my son was born on a Friday the 13th but he weighed in at 7lb, 11oz which I figured evened it out. Yesterday I got a call that my daughter that lives 180 miles away was in a...
