Hi sb1986 and welcome to NeuroTalk!
This forum (ALS) is a bit quiet and you might not get many responses right away.
We have a New Members Introductions forum.....
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum88.html which might prove to be more active especially during this holiday week.
You can mention that you've already visited the ALS forum because members welcoming you will more than likely suggest that forum to you.
