Guest guest Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Kim, I am sorry about your father and that you are having some of the symptoms of ALS. I admire those who are care takers of people with ALS. My husband has PLS and it seems I am jumping constanly to make sure he doesn't fall or worring if he might fall. I would think you might be able to get into a study of ALS?PLS or some sort if you could, like at a hospital and tell them your situation. Maybe you could explain that to your doctor and see what they might be able to do. I know that if we can't afford something we pay alittle at a time and our doctor understands. If you go to the same doctor as your father did he might understand better than a new doctor. I am sure you have tried these things already sorry I didn't help but I willl be praying for you and that things work out really soon for you. R.E.D. itzallgood58 wrote: Greetings! I have a Q about how some may have dealt with NO INSURANCE- My father died in 2000 of ALS, under my care...but anyway I am now showing many signs and symptoms and I have no $ or insurance. The medicaid situation is that they will not cover without a diagnosis, I cannot afford the testing which is required for a Dx , around and around it goes! Anybody out there have a similar situation or any tips for moving forward with this thing? In all my research there is really nothing addressing this problem. Many thanx, and good thoughts to you all, Kim (Southern Illinois) --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
