Anyone else here diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gherigs disease)? I was just diagnosed and I'm feeling pretty devastated. Granted I was very suicidal before this news, but this isn't helping. I don't want to be completely dependent on others…I don't want a slow 2-5 year degenerative death. Looking for people to talk to.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. Would you be able to qualify for doctor assisted suicide?

I second this. You sound like the ideal candidate for euthanasia/maid.

So sorry to hear this, what were your first symptoms?
