    Doctor states a potential for ALS

    Hi, I find myself here because honestly, I am unsure if the doctor I saw was really offering me any good information. Not to criticize the doctor I saw, just that he was not my PCP who is on vacation. I just visited my doctors practice and saw the on-call physician. Not my normal PCP. I...

    Hope it helps others

    Some days are shit. And sometimes you get a bunch of them in a row. And sometimes it gets too much, and there is crying and gnashing of teeth. I saw my psychologist. I said "I'm not coping very well". She said: What kind of person deals with this without getting upset? The only way through...
