Day before my 59th birthday I find out I have ALS
   
Not looking for sympathy just some DU hugs. Gonna have a lot more time to spend here once I find an assisted living facility. Otherwise daytime TV might make me crazy.

I've been expecting this for a couple of months. Tried going to the state of denial. Then depression. Now acceptance. Of course there is fear what this f'in disease will do to me. Just hope the medical system will let me go out on my own terms when ready.

Love all of you here even when we fight!

He's been lying and/or swearing by a lie on the DUmp for quite a long time so I don't know if he is telling the truth, doin the usual sympathy mating call, or scamming Jerry Lewis.

Tried going to the state of denial.

Is that the 56th state, or 57th?

I lost my sister to ALS at 49.  It is a horrible way to go.  If the op has been diagnosed he and his family have my deepest sympathy.  ALS is not a diagnosis easily made if I remember correctly so a couple months is reasonable.  They rule out everyting else first.

If the op is truthful then he has an almost certain death sentence.  He should have a good second prepared to pull the plug.  Make ones wishes known in writing now while he still can it can be too late before you know it.

Watching someone die from ALS is almost as horrible as the disease.  You can see them but cannot reach them, it is the most helpless feeing knowing they are trapped in their own body. 

Too bad we spent so much on AIDS and so little on ALS.   :mad:

Well, AIDS is spread by a lack of federal funding, and since most HIV positive people are democrats...  they have to try and find a cure for the consequences of the corrupt lifestyles they live so they can keep flaunting their immorality.

So basically what you're saying is...we found a cure for homosexuality and now we're trying to find a cure for the cure? :-)

IF the DUmmy is telling the truth, my best wishes.  My mother died from ALS and it is a tough way to go.  Kind of rare to get it that late in life.

No, and we'll never find a cure for AIDS, either.  30 years and they still can't get the rats to butt-**** each other.

All these DUmmies jumping on the pity train lately are going to inspire Straight Story to crank up his sob story.
He's got to be curious if he can mine a few more bucks out of the DUmp. One last dive trip to the Great Barrier Reef, maybe.

That's some damned hard tidings for RamboLib.  I'll take him at his word, and wish him peace.

ALS is horrible.  

He needs to get off the DUmp and move on to the next phase of his life. That place is not good for the soul.

The Straight Story has been quiet.  He's been fighting the RWs on Facebook.   :whatever:

That's code for I still have money for booze.

The jury is still out for me on if he is telling the truth because of his DUmp past history of bouncys and shit.  So it is not like Vinnie The Dude claiming to have a heart attack when all the while he really didn't, that's a proven thing.

 :lmao:

I do hope he does some self reflecting and finds peace and suffers little.  All politics aside, there's a peace that God provides that no medicine can touch.

Just keep in mind Pam Dawson when it comes to inflictions and DUmmies.

She had cancer, ya know!
