PALS without CALS
Good morning everyone, I had to cancel my trip up North because I decided to try the lunasin protocol and just got overwhelmed with all that I'm trying to do. I'm worn out to the point that I just don't know where to place my energy and priorities. I'm at a point where I don't know where...- KimT

Resisting therapy
Hello all, I don't post here often but I have been a member of this community since last year. Some friends and family have asked if I have considered going to therapy to help me deal with my partner's ALS but I keep resisting. I had a major depressive episode in 1999 and went through a...- Manhattanite

On Depression: And also, sorry, I'm new
To the website, not the disease, but I understand it's in somewhat bad taste to post new stuff (especially long stuff, and this is long). However, I thought this might help some people. Some background: my PALS was diagnosed August 2011. At the time I was 5 years free from anti-depressants...- wendybridges

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...- Robious

A frightfull journey, ALS?
Hello, I had a earlier post on this forum but it is closed, so I made a new one. I'm quite worried and at a loss. I hoped someone here could help me with some answers. I first came here because of swallowing difficulties and fascinations. I went to a specialist for the swallowing...- Zanmorian

Just Found This Forum....First Post / vent (?)
I apologize for not using paragraphs, etc. For some reason, I assumed that only caregivers would be reading this...pretty ignorant on my part. I like to write...as is somewhat obvious. I will try to be more succinct in future posts....Paul Maybe I haven't searched enough, but this is the...- jazzdoc007

From a teenage daughter author's point of view
Hi everyone. My name is Sarah, and I am nineteen years old. The last time I posted on here was about three years ago. My dad was diagnosed with ALS in June 2012, now three years ago. I found out on July 15th, 2012. I found out because I accidentally found a bottle of Rilutek, and I googled what...- sdolphin63

My journey, more questions. :)
Hi everyone and Happy Memorial Day. As time goes on, it seems more questions come up. My neurologist retired so I'm in between providers. So, far, what has changed the most is my right hand/arm. It's getting harder to turn the ignition key, can't hold the coffee pot really anything that...- Firefly

Quality Of Life
This past week I had another clinic visit. One of the the things that has struck me as I have been thinking about what was said to me was how many times the phrase "Quality Of Life" was brought up. I refuse to take medicine for the pain and cramps as I do not react well and they make me foggy...- tripete
