Hello Mwoolford and welcome to NeuroTalk. Here is the link to our very inactive ALS forum...http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum6.html

You'll find that BoobyB posts volumes of helpful sites. Unfortunately people just seem to lurk there.

I'm so sorry for your husbands dx.

Default Thanks everyone

The words of encourgement are sure helpful. We are going to see the specialist on Friday not sure what to expect. My husband's symptoms sound all to familiar. Weakness starting in the left arm, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, muscle atropy. From what I have read this affects everyone a little different.
