However, since that time I had a fourth degree relative and my mom pass from what was thought to be ALS. My mother was 61 and my great-aunt...

    ALS and living alone-concerned

    Hi everyone, I had the contractor come out to give me a bid on remodeling my bathroom to make it wheelchair accessible. Not surprisingly, it is very costly. I live alone and am processing all my options. I've lived in my house for 21 years and would really like to stay here. Right now, I'm...

    I've been holding off on posting here for over a month, content with silent lurking, following the suggestions to look at the aboutbfs forum, trying to glean what I can from various threads. I'm convinced my symptoms are slightly more on the MND side than most of the panickers I read. For...
