    Just found this site in my research of what I have come to believe is ALS. My symptoms started 18 months ago with slurred speech. After a beer or two I would sound like I was trashed and my wife accused me on numerous occasions of drinking too much. When it started happening without alcohol she...

    ALS Specialist denies pain related to disease

    Hello, Since my dx I've been to three ALS Specialty Clinics. One was strictly for a second opinion and it was out of state. Two weeks ago the doctor I ended up with (since my diagnosis) told me that the level of pain I was experiencing did NOT happen in ALS and said "pain other than cramping...

    activities for advanced ALS

    My daughter is employed as a caregiver for someone with ALS. The patient is advanced and has no motor capability and communicates by speaking/lip reading. Winter time is typical for depression to set in with this patient, which in turn leaves my daughter feeling frustrated. Does anyone have...

    Could this be ALS or MND?

    Hey guys, This is my first post here but I really needed somewhere to talk about my current situtation. As a disclaimer, I have had health anxiety in the past. My symptoms probably became noticable about a year ago. I was a weightlifter in college about a year ago and one day after a...

    Almost a year

    Hi everyone. I was doing pretty well over the summer. The flashbacks ended, I still missed my dad but I wasn't obsessing over death and dying every day. I got hired full-time at my job after six months as a consultant so that was great news. Next month, 11/28, will be the one year...

    Sleep

    It seems like I cant stop sleeping. Julien is in the same boat. We have joy and happiness and little anxiety. I do not think it is depression just overwhelming fatigue from 2 years of being caregivers. Has anyone else encountered this after their pals has passed?

    Neudexta

    Hi all, Curious to know what kind of positive effect Neudexta may have on speech issues? Does it make it any better? Just holds off progression? I don't have PBA, and swallowing isn't too bad. It's movement of the tongue when eating and speaking that's the worst of it. I asked my dr. and...
