    I don't think I'm an idiot...

    My new Neurologist noted AHCD as the only differential on the referral to a neuromuscular specialist for the EMG. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Anterior Horn Cell Disease is the parent for the MNDs? Not surprisingly after an exam, he's also confirmed the atrophy and weakness in both hands along...

    Am I that selfish?

    Well, here goes my first rant. It's like this... I have a younger brother. My parents emancipated him and let him get married to his knocked up girlfriend when he was 15. He has occasionally held a job, but never uses that income to pay actual bills. He has three children that we actually...

    Desperate not to be scared anymore!

    Hi All, Been skulking around the forum for two months. As many others have stated, the last thing I want to do is to inadvertantly offend anyone, so please excuse anything in the post that might do that. I have so much admiration for all who are suffering from this disease, as well as the...

    Neuralstem CEO Blog...

    A great note written by Richard Garr the CEO of Neuralstem. His company is the one funding the stem cell study at Emory where I am patient #11. I think he summarizes everything very well. He himself is very inspirational, he started this company because his son, who is thankfully still alive...

    Nurses, help or babysitting?

    Well, the great news is that I have nursing care for my husband 12 hours a day. The even better news is that I am going to start getting 24 hour care on August 1st because I am going back to work on August 17th. Most of you burned out caregivers would think that I would be well rested and...

    A lasting impression

    A number of years ago when I was still working, I was acting for a friend of a friend of mine (we will call him Bill) in connection with a home purchase. We had an appointment to meet at my office the evening before closing. Bill gave me a call advising that he was running late. I knew...

    Cough Assist Machines

    Okay, I am an idiot when it comes to searching for information on this forum. I'm trying to find out the make and model of the machines you folks use. My husband needs one, and the pulmonologist suggested that I "talk" with you guys and find out what you have, and what you like. I did find an...

    I Think I Did Something Stupid

    My middle daughter's boyfriend talked me into helping a friend of his out. His friend's wife had a unique valentine's gift in mind: "Hubby, get rid of that old upright piano that's been in our garage like, forever and let me have space to park my car in the garage." I don't know why I say yes...
