    Third EMG, It's Official

    I am so sad. I was praying for MMN, but EMG yesterday indicated "no way." I knew it was a remote possibility, but having even a flicker of hope was so important. So I am wondering, what do we do now? I am so unsure. Do we travel the world? (Though I have to keep my job to support us.) Install...

    Early ALS or anxiety?

    As a background, I have a history of intermittent severe anxiety for which I have never taken any medications. The worst anxieties I have had have been health-related that were unfounded. So even before I ask my question, I know the answer is to see my doctor and get labs and an EMG. I am...

    A couple of questions about how to manage with PLS

    I have a few questions with regards to PLS. I know I have a few years to go before actual diagnosis, but I've been told to assume till the specialist tells me otherwise. This is a bit of a ramble- please bear with me. I have recently discovered Baclofen had made my spasticity worse. The...

    I'm drowning in my own depression

    I have had a diagnosis of depression for about 10 years. Most of the time, medication helps, but sometimes it can overwhelm me. I am experiencing one of those times and it's making me feel horrible. I am becoming debilitated myself. Last night I could feel the irritation building up while I...

    Lack of Energy

    This may not be my smartest question (I've asked many). Do any of you run into days where you have a massive energy outage. I get them with no pattern, just some days it takes everything I got just to move around, never mind leave the house. It is not depression, it is just no energy. Can't...
