    25 year old med student, fasciculations and cognitive changes

These are some of the thoughts I get on the worst of days. 1) My situation. Just before diagnosis I went through a relationship break-up. So I have no wife, no kids, and...

    Personality changes?

    Has anyone else seen basic personality changes in their mate? My soul mate of 34 years, who now has ALS, was the guy who tells me dinner is good every day. If I do something for him he always goes out of his way to thank me. He never makes anyone feel like they are bothering him if they need...
