why?

hi
2 years ago I happen to mention to my doctor that I couldn't move my finger independently and then a year later I noticed weakness in my legs which I put down to lack of exercise but no amount of exercise would strength them.
I started using a cane to keep my back straight and at the moment I'm using a walker to get around the house and my hands are almost completely useless.

Thank you Waxeye, so sorry to hear that, they still don't have any medications to slow down the progression of it these days? My father died of Multiple Myeloma in 1996, after just 2 years, at the age of 67-- They had no treatments back then, today they do, and you live 5 to 8 years on average

I've got a rare health condition, that takes too much physical and mental effort to keep at bay daily.

Too many people; insitutions, society, friends and family have betrayed me unimaginably that I've got no desire to keep living. I could repeatedly press the reset button 5-10 years ago, but I just can't this time.

Don't break a bird's wings and insist it must fly again.

A month ago I was diagnosed with MND in particular ALS at 68 years old..
probably one of the worst diseases you can get you become a head on a stick, I would prefer cancer to this.

I'm racing against the clock to get all the materials and equipment together before I can no longer use my legs and become bedridden.
I have chosen the exit bag method with carotid compression as a backup plan

You're using the Nitrogen method like I am?

I guess I've just lived long enough, am completely alone, see nothing good coming my way in the future, except diseases and other aging-type ailments. I don't want to have something happen to me, like a heart attack or stroke, and find myself living in a nursing home being spoon-fed and having my ass wiped by someone else and then on top of that have no one at all to even come and visit me. Nope. I have to go before that happens.

I'm with you 100%. If it comes time where I can't wipe my own ass, I am DEFINITELY out of here. I have a little bit of pride left in me.

i wouldn't really kill my self unless it was a last resort like getting a brain injury and not being able to work

I think if it comes time where I can't wipe my own ass, that may be too late to even do anything about CTB. I have to go before that happens.

I agree 100%!
