From people who came through it

  • โ€œHi, you. This time last year I was exactly where you are. Trouble swallowing. That was my life. This year I did a 5k, slowly. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do.โ€

  • โ€œIf you're scared right now, I get it. I've been there. For me it was about three years ago. Back then it was dad's ALS moving fast. I wake up most days without that dread. It changes. It really does.โ€

  • โ€œDear stranger, i was in the same place in 2022. Back then it was dad's ALS moving fast. I'm volunteering here now. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. One day at a time.โ€

  • โ€œNot sure if this makes sense. Please be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. I started keeping a symptom diary and suddenly the doctors took me seriously. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ€
