    DanD replied to the topic Getting involved in clinical trials in the forum Living With ALS 1 year, 7 months ago

    I’ve begged my VA doctor to get me into one of the many clinical trials for ALS treatment but he failed me. I’ve contacted several clinical trials myself but have been refused treatment for dumb reasons like my diagnosis was more than 2 years ago, my breathing is too weak or that I am just too old. I have tried to invoke the Right-To-Try Law and…[Read more]

    DanD replied to the topic AMX0035 in the forum Research Topics 1 year, 7 months ago

    Since diagnosed with ALS I’ve been living with this shadow overhead and it feels like I’ve been sleeping with a cloud above my bed.   I’ve been suffering for so long, trapped and I just can’t seem to move on. I’ve been hiding all my hopes and dreams away just in case a cure is found someday. I’ve been setting aside time, to clear a little space…[Read more]

    ~ Cowboy’n For Dummies ~

     

    I retired from my government job in Arizona (architectural designer) where I prepared the construction drawings and specifications for the remodeling of state owned buildings and moved to East Texas (Bulah, TX, 8.4 miles south of Rusk on FM 23) with my “Cowboy’n For Dummies” book 4+ years ago to become a real cow…[Read more]

    DanD replied to the topic ALS and Veterans in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 2 years, 7 months ago

    Mike Company, 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Division, USMC veteran…… For over a year the doctors back at the VA in Palestine, Texas gave me one missed diagnosis after another. I became very angry and frustrated. I nearly stopped breathing. I lost strength and weight (50+ pounds). I gave my Texas ranch away in January 2016, my piece of heaven on ear…[Read more]

      Dan,

      Thank you for your service and everything you sacrificed for our country. I grew up a Navy brat and I watched my father serve, retire and move back to South East Missouri to his little piece of heaven.

      I’m so sorry that the VA has let you down on so many levels. That is very unfair to say the very least.

      Your descriptive writing is…[Read more]

    DanD replied to the topic How do you answer people when they ask, “How are you?” in the forum Living With ALS 2 years, 7 months ago

    How am I today? Some days are better than others. Some are mothers. I ain’t even gonna lie. Some days, I don’t wanna get up, I just wanna give up.   Don’t even get me started on some nights.
