    All in the Mind ...?

    Of all the things I’ve lost, I miss my mind the most. This week a letter arrived from the Neurologist who last month uttered the incongruous phrase, “It’s too soon to know”. Coming on the tail end of a taxing (but exhilarating!) 30 hour sojourn his letter sucked my remaining breath away. The...

    Edgeworking

    A friend of mine is definitely risk-inclined. To look into his eyes, the bright centre of his vaguely unkempt person, is to peer over the rim of the cliffs and cascades against which he continually pits his mettle. A climber, adventurer, horseman; he's the fellow who gets a mechanic mate to cut...

    2nd opinion as bad as the first!

    Well I went to Cleveland Clinic for my second opinion I was hopeful they had more information or some other new research. Their website gleams with the promise of a "team approach" to diagnosis and treatment. What a ripoff! I saw one neurologist who kept us waiting over an hour came in said...

    Living with me, but refusing to let us know anything

    Has anyone ever had an experience where your PALS was living in your home... but refusing to tell you anything? What doctors or therapists say for example? My mom has completely cut off her family from her doctors. She's instructed all of them to not reveal any of her information. She's even...

    Bipap.....for my pap. Advice?

    OK, here is my situation. My dad is in the process of an initial diagnosis for ALS. We are still awaiting bloodwork and MRI results, EMG is done. His neuro seems pretty convinced for ALS, but has yet to get us any breathing assistance. My dad spends a lot of time both worrying about his...

    Changes with fascics/spasms

    This is all I was going to post but I got on a roll: Has anyone had fascics that turned into spasms (no longer little annoying twitches)? Tuesday is my second appointment with the Neuromuscular Department. I am assuming I will have another EMG. My neuro has been checking my tongue each time :(...
