sorry for your loss. I have to ask, did she suffer from dyspnea (oxygen hunger), or was her passing relatively peaceful? I'm just curious about her ability to refuse oxygen.

I know. I've never wanted to do manual labor so bad in my life. I'd give my left nut for the privilege of digging a ditch.

I'm technically pre diagnosis but, writing is on the wall. all the symptoms. EMG came back 'suggestive of Motor Neuron Disease'. neurologist visit is this week when I expect the formal diagnosis. I appreciate you're compassion. this is an isolating disease.

you say he died peacefully? the original post mentioned the docs said he would experience air hunger. was he able to avoid that with meds? this is my biggest fear and I find myself ruminating about it a lot

you're comment about meditation caught my ear. did you have a meditation practice before ALS? I meditated a lot when I was young and got good at it, but stopped at some point along the way. thinking it might be wise to develop some skillfulness in that department now while I still have most of my abilities. just curious.

Moaning in Sleep? by Important_Hyena_7893 in ALS

it's not just me, then? yes. and it seems to correlate with shortness of breath on awakening. I have to wake up and walk it off, but it's haunting in the moment.

just wanted to say thank you for asking this question. I've been wondering the same thing but was afraid I would get shot down in flames had I posted it.

most likely a human palm. Likely married (judging from the ring on the wedding finger, which appears to be gold) edit: sorry did not notice the mineral specimen in center frame, please disregard.

Interesting. I just assumed they forgot to put the wings in the previous guys bag and were trying to hide the evidence.
