Abeer | My brother is an MS patient, he is 40 years old and was diagnosed 12 years ago. It's a secondary progressive and now he's on a wheelchair and is suffering from a variety of symptoms including leg stiffness, general fatigue, bladder problems and weakness. He is currently undergoing sessions of a low dose chemotherapy, our last resort according to some doctors to slow down the deterioration process. If you have any recommendation please share with me I'll appreciate it. |

| chinagirl | I am the wife and primary caregiver of Ray, PALS diagnosed in May 2008. Since then, the disease has progressed rapidly: cane in May, walker and transfer chair in June, full-time power chair in July. Already his voce has softened and slowed and he is frequently short-of-breath, he tires easily, is beginning to have some difficulty swallowing and tremors have moved into his arms and hands and he has lost most all arm and hand strength. Despite all, he remains positive, peaceful and a joy to be with and I am blessed. |

cynragan | my mother (Sig) was diagnosed with ALS last november. There is a book on the New York Times Bestsellers list now titled "not quite what i was planning". pretty much sums it all up. except change the "I" to "we". My family was blindsided. we are closer now than i ever imagined we would be. my mother is my role model, my go-to, my favorite Diva!, my mom, my "advisor" ( ! !), my friend. my mother has always been - and continues to be an enormous part of my day to day life. i just got married - my mother was THE most beautiful and involved MOB (mother of the bride)! find a cure for ALS! |
