    Kathleen B (Katie) replied to the topic CLENBUTEROL in the forum Research Topics 2 months, 3 weeks ago

    Thank you Dagmar & Kathy S,   I appreciate your insightful perspectives–helpful in my situation as I will consider all the research & trial info more in light of ‘read-only’…good to know things are going on, keep a list for future perhaps, but not pursue or anticipate a ‘when’ factor.   INDEED, the daily challenges are enough…focusing on the…[Read more]

    Kathleen B (Katie) replied to the topic CLENBUTEROL in the forum Research Topics 2 months, 3 weeks ago

    Besides overall confusion about most things ALS, (as 8-9mo newly diagnosed) this concept of clinical trials and research into helpful items is the UTMOST mind-boggling!  While it seems to be that there are many things new study ‘treatments’ underway to help slow progression or help with some symptom or another of sporadic or familial ALS, the…[Read more]

    Kathleen B (Katie) replied to the topic 2022 in the forum A​ ​Forum​ ​for​ ​ALS ​Caregivers​ 3 months, 2 weeks ago

    An early May 2021 diagnosis for me “changed our life as only those who have had this diagnosis understand.” (Thank you Mary, your words are a spot on description!)  …and I have been with the love of my life for just 37 years…hoping to make it to 40 at least!  My struggle at the moment is the fear that something will happen to my husband, b…[Read more]

    Kathleen B (Katie) replied to the topic You're Not You in the forum ALS In The Media 3 months, 2 weeks ago

    I, too, am not ready to see movies about someone who has ALS…but I am just 8 months into being a pALS.   I am making a list as I see items mentioned…and I would like to watch these with my husband caregiver at some point…but not yet.   My 1st choice of ‘to come’ learning is having made the decision to re-read “Tuesdays with Morrie” (wr…[Read more]

    Kathleen B (Katie) replied to the topic Can anyone give advice in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 4 months, 1 week ago

    WOW! A very extensive list Richard—but VERY helpful. I’ve been going to a University ALS Clinic in Michigan (USA), since diagnosis in May 2021, which was:  Limb onset (left foot drop) Sporadic ALS @ age 65…none of 33 known genetic markers at all…likely an environmental toxic impact unique to my particular body system.
    …not much peace of mind sin…[Read more]

    Lisa,

    Thoughts & prayers for you, your daughter & grandchildren is what I can offer best…and I truly will do so.

    I know the angst you describe regarding the body changes…and lifestyle changes…and the Neuro dr.’s ‘hedging’ (the most frustrating, unexpected piece)…tho’ I also cannot imagine how it would be to ‘go to work’ every day and…[Read more]

    I’m a recent Forums join–interested in the Virtual meeting idea too–best time for me is in the 10am-3pm time range– Eastern (Daylight savings) Time Zone of the United States.

    Kathleen B (Katie) replied to the topic AFOs: Are they worth it? in the forum Mobility Aides, Assistive Technology and Medical Equipment 10 months ago

    Hi all,

    I’m new to Forums, but got interested in ‘joining in’ because of some of the discussions.  I’m really new to ALS (2 months ago diagnosis)…but I do already have both AFO’s and a rollator walker.   I was not a fan of having or using either right away…but I was more frustrated with moving slow to be safe and avoid falls (due to foot dr…[Read more]

    Thank you Dagmar,
    I really enjoy your writing style and input of practical things! Even made a print copy of one item ( the ‘new’ new normal)…as it helped me figure out a way to share ALS diagnosis with a handful of close friends. I look forward to sharing and learning. Such as: I read there is a way to ‘private message’…how is that done?…[Read more]

      On your profile page you’ll find the option to send a “message” (public) or send a “private message” – – choose that one if you don’t want it seen by all members. Dagmar

    Thank you Amanda,
    I’d like to go by the name ‘Katie’ for the forum–how do I do that without messing up my ‘user name’ (which said must be real name). I have been reading the ALS Digest & forums a month now…just took some tech help to figure out how to register, (LOL! have not done any social networks, just teaching technology things with IT…[Read more]
