    I saw this movie a couple of weeks ago and I loved it! I have ALS and it doesn’t bother me to watch movies about it. In fact, it normalizes my experience a little bit. I wasn’t bothered by the lack of resources shown in the film; it wasn’t part of the story line and it didn’t need to be there for the story to be effective.

    Nina, Do you have an adjustable height  hospital bed? I have one on loan from the ALS Association. It makes it easy to get from the bed to the bedside commode. Or could you put one those raised toilet seats on a standard toilet to match the height of your power chair?

    Is anyone else experiencing the phenomenon of leaking copious amounts of urine about 30 seconds after standing up? Gravity works! I started with pads but now wear diaper briefs which work well but are difficult for me to change. I have to use a walker to get into my bathroom because my wheelchair doesn’t fit. As I am more unsteady now I had to f…[Read more]

    My husband and I are talking about a road trip from MA to NC and then to CO and NM to visit family and friends. We set up our minivan to sleep in and cook also. We keep a porta potty on board so we don’t have to use public restrooms. We can get fully vaccinated in the next month. We shared the driving on past road trips, but as I don’t drive any…[Read more]

      I love road trips Meri! The one you are considering sounds like a great one. Are there specific things/places you want to see/do other than visit family and friends? When are you thinking about going?

    Meri posted an update 2 years, 9 months ago

    I’m a newbie, having noticed speech, balance, and weakness symptoms for about a year, diagnosed 4/20. I found the time zone article so spot on, as well as the comments. I too, have had to adjust how I move and happy to say I’ve gone a whole 3 weeks without a fall. I really appreciate other people’s ability to articulate their
    experiences so well,…[Read more]
