My wife died from ALS on Mothers day 2008
Sep 10, 2008 11:23PM in the ALS Community
I read your post about the loss of your wife and felt your grief though your words. She must have been very lucky to have someone who loved her so deeply. I am now afraid that I may get to walk in your footsteps and I am scared of even the thought of being without my husband. For a couple of months we laughed because his thumb twitched. It just wouldn't s...
Quix! Are Doctor recommended referrals unbiased?
Sep 10, 2008 11:11PM in the Multiple Sclerosis Community
Back to the topic of seeing a doctor recommended by another.....we have a magazine called D magazine here in Dallas. They fax ballots to staff and physicians and they vote on who they like and/or play golf with etc. Once your name is chosen you then have to pay $20,000 for a whole page that is reserved for the really, really good doctors and they even bring...

My gyn said that many people mistake those types of things due to the whole referred pain thing. Mine even hurt in the back which was what fooled m...
Unusual symptom
Aug 13, 2008 11:38PM in the Multiple Sclerosis Community
For the last few days we have had relief from the 100 degree heat. This evening I sat out front and didn't feel even remotely hot. I drank plenty while I was out as well. In total I was out less than an hour. I stood for a few minutes to chat with another mom and quite suddenly I felt as though I was going to faint. No weakness and my knees were not lock...
Twitching in thumb only
Aug 09, 2008 12:17AM in the Neurology Community
Thank you for your previous response. I have been monitoring my husbands progress and the only thing that really has changed is that during the time his face feels tingly it outwardly appears tense and he can feel the twitch there too. He is complaining of dizziness now and is sore most of the time but very uncomfortable in the mornings. Often it is aggrav...
