I am just so happy to be included into ALS Clinical Trials & Research group w @iamalsorg and if you are a scientist working on drug discovery efforts for motor neuron diseases pls join the wonderful FB group Nadia has initiated, join the amazing team. Thank you.
Day 28-I guess it’s kind of scary that my husband & kids carry me everywhere & we are so brilliant we bought not 1 but 2 cattle dogs who instinctively herd. They purposely get in our way while I’m being piggybacked. We mostly laugh. “You can’t scare me I have ALS.”
The ALS Association is nothing more than 6 figure salaries, propaganda, talking heads, zero urgency, run by those who have less than zero care or experience in the disease they represent. #Shameful#defundalsa
Day 26 no idea if sporadic or not. No test done.
Day 27 Lisa passed in 14 months, enough said
Day 28 Scariest day? The day before we stsrted hospice
Day 29 spending time and being her primary caregiver
Day 30 I have become a better person
Day 31 she was the nicest person
When I was diagnosed with ALS (at 31) the doc told me and my wife that having kids wouldn't be a great idea. She was ten weeks pregnant at the time. Now we have 2 beautiful kids, and I'm still fighting like hell. Thank you @iamalsorg and @bsw5020!
Getting treatments to more #pALS means improving clinical trial protocols and shortening the length of those trials. Happy to see this statement from @MDAorg! #ALS#Unite#clinicaltrials
Although I really appreciate the MDA letter, I need to see action. The MDA has existed for 70 years. This is the 1st time I've heard this long overdue message from them.
I'm all for someone replacing the failed ALSA. I personally will decide based on who acts. IamALS, MDA, ...?
RIP Larry Kramer, former HIV powerhouse. Where is ALS' version of Larry Kramer? Must see monent at :35. "I'm trying to understand why nobody cares we (HIV) are dying!" ALS needs this "anger" and action NOW. Right f@#$ now. #ALS#Endals#MND#nurown@US_FDA
