How I feel before going to my 3 month ALS checkup.
Thank you ladies
God bless you.
❤
I was diagnosed in February also. My speech is a lot worse than yours.
I'm so sorry. Do u have bulbar onset?
Yes I do. My legs are not affected yet. I choke when I eat and I am on a liquid diet. I’m researching getting a feeding tube.
We are both December babies! My birthday is December 12, 1961. I’m a few years older than you.
❤
Merry Christmas everyone.
I'm 32 and will be leaving behind my daughter. I don't know exactly when. I hope I have some time left with her because she turns 3 in January and can't talk yet, so obviously she won't grasp that mommy isn't gonna be around anymore and I don't want her to think mommy abandoned her 😭💔
My heart breaks for you about this.❤ Have you tried videoing messages to her on the computer that she can watch when she is older?
Just found you, will be praying for you. May I ask what religion you are?
Good, thank you:) I am a member of Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ❤
Tick-Borne Pathogens ( Bacterial, Viral, Fungal & Parasitical ) are responsible 😣😣😣
This is great to see. I love that you get to do this with Stacey. You two are such a great pair.
And you are a great video person!
I said the wrong date. This was video'd 12/12/24.
When you suffered in cruel disease
Thank you for sharing. Your strength and faith helps me get through some of the hard times with my husband’s ALS.

Sending support 💪💪🙏🙏
Thank you❤
Thanks for the updates!!!! Love your Christmas tree!!!! Happy Holidays to u and your family!!!!!🙏☀️🥰🌲🙏🥰🌲🙏
Thank you❤
Brava!! This video is fantastic! I am a lower neuron onset pALS, and I too have shared a couple of videos about a year ago, maybe less. ? I am currently working on a project to make more videos of a different type, but for the same reasons as you! I’m going to watch the rest of the video now, but I already know that I want to connect sometime in the not too distant future. I’m so happy that you’ve chosen your path through this, and I applaud you. 😊😊
Thank you ❤
God bless you, such a horrible disease to have. I pray for you & a cure to be available soon xx ❤
❤thank you
Thanks for sharing 🙏🙏

It is so comforting to know we will go to a beautiful place.
Thank you for posting. I was diagnosed 3/12/2024 with limb onset ALS (sporadic).
Upper limb or lower?
@@bethbrock2797 Hello Beth! Nice to meet you here. I am Ken age 61. It started in my lower right foot. I think the first indication that something was wrong was about 16 months ago but I initially did not pay attention to it.
Yep, when we don't have ALS on our radar we think it's something that will go away. Blessings to you.
ALS is caused by various fungi that can enter the body in several ways. Often times the infection begins in the upper regions of the nasal cavity infecting the olfactory nerve. From there, the infection slowly makes its way into the frontal lobe (motor cortex) which is what causes the disruption to signals to muscles. The parietal lobe is often unaffected because of the central sulcus - a physical structure in the brain that separates the frontal and parietal lobes - that is why most ALS patients have no problem with sensory (feeling); the infection cannot cross into the lobe to affect sensory neurons. Another clear indicator that the disease is caused by fungal pathogens is the increased level of CHIT1 proteins. CHIT1 is a protein released by mammals to fight pathogens with chitin in their cell walls such as fungi. These fungal infections are known as "insidious infections" meaning there is no sign of infection until you have serious symptoms such as muscle weakness. To treat the disease, heavy antifungals are required for long periods. Most doctors are not aware this is now a treatable disease and are still approaching it with conventional wisdom. If you have been diagnosed with ALS or a similar neurodegenerative disease, be sure you do significant research on fungal infections and their treatment. It is important also to note that companies in the US and Europe make billions annually selling equipment to patients with this disease and others like it.
I'm so glad to see you and you are truly a warrior and a beautiful person♥️
thank you
ALS can be caused by Lyme disease. The tests your doctors have access to are not sensitive enough and usually have false negatives. You have to get tested by a private lab (Igenix, vibrant, Armin etc). Borrelia can be treated (and its co-infections can be worse than the borrelia so you need to get tested for Babesia and Bartonella etc). Take your health into your own hands and get your own testing- don’t accept this diagnosis.
Bless u. U have us all out here wishing u well. Keep the positive vibes.
❤thank you!
Beth, as Sandy Traub has said, I admire your positive spirit as you deal with a very difficult physical condition. Prayers for you. Also, when I have any kind of body cramp, leg cramps, I sip a little apple cider vinegar. It stops my cramps almost immediately. My mother-in-law, Margaret, told me this little trick years ago. It always works. When my Mike was sick, he would get leg cramps quite often. He would always ask me to get him done apple cider vinegar. But check with your doctor first.❤
Oh I appreciate this advice!
I am so glad to see you!!! You usually do your videos on the 1st of the month so I was worried about u!!!! Praying that the progression of your ALS slows up or goes into remission. Have a great rest of the week and look forward to your next video!!!!☀️🥰🙏☀️🥰🙏
Thank you friend I will keep that in mind!
Doctrine & Covenants 6:36 Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not.
Proverbs 3 - 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
I get leg cramps when I'm not drinking enough water. I also use Vick's VaporRub.

Sending love! ❤❤🎉🎉 I admire and cheer you and your optimism.
Thanks Sandy❤
My daughter can no longer lift her hands like you. She can't walk alone anymore. Her voice is getting weaker and harder to understand on the phone. She had a feeding tube put in which upset her because she wasn’t ready for that but her lungs could do the surgery. It has taken two weeks to recover from surgery. Glad you are doing so well. 😊
Ooo I never thought about how your lungs could impact that. Good to know. Thanks for telling me. I'm glad your daughter has you❤
Prayers 🤲 for Us 🙏 all
Yes ❤

Friends are wonderful greetings from Australia ❤
Yes. Australia--wow🎉
Hi Beth. I’m going through ALS testing now but my symptoms are all pointing towards it. How are you dealing with thinking about next 3-6 months? I’m scared to death and wanted to know how you deal with it.
Thought I had locked myself out of the house, so I rang the doorbell. My husband answered and said the door wasn’t locked. My thumb was too weak to depress the latch. That was one of my first symptoms.
How long have u had ALS?
@@bethbrock2797 It started in my right leg in Spring 2021 and spread to my left leg within six months. I started falling, but managed to compensate and continued walking, but mainly in my house. I was diagnosed with MND in June 2022 by a neurologist after ruling out mimics and having a positive EMG. I was undiagnosed four months later over a zoom call with an ALS specialist. She said I should have been in a wheelchair by then. It spread to my arms and hands. Now, muscle atrophy and weight loss (40 lbs). I’m still trying to get a diagnosis. I’m awaiting a muscle biopsy, genetic testing and more blood test results. Whatever this is, I just need to know. Stay as positive as possible and best wishes as you navigate this terrible disease.
That is hard not knowing. Take care
Beth. You are amazing! You mention changes in your voice but you seem to sound normal in all your videos.
Thank you😊
Can you tag who you spoke to that helped you find the neurologist that specializes in asl?
@Ruth_T I called ALS of georgia and spoke to ROBIN RACOFF. It may now be called ALS united of georgia
I am going down the ALS currently as I have constant fasciculations in my calves and an abnormal EMG. So far no weakness that I know of but I'm seeing a neurologist next week. Did you ever have fasciculations in your calves?
*als rabbit hole
@peggyhaukap5554 -you can have them anywhere. I think of it as your muscles are starting to short out but that might not be totally accurate.
@@bethbrock2797 thank you for that response. Do you know how long before fasciculations start that you'll have other symptoms? Or can you have just fasciculations for several months with no other symptoms?
Is there any hope of medicine for ALS in coming year
Nothing concrete I know of.
There is some trials from ALS in fase 3, mybe in 2025 something get aproval
@@joaopita1046 thanks 🙏 May God bless
I had a scare in 2021… had trouble pushing my brakes in the car and lifting pots or pans and dropping things and muscle cramps and spasms . Then it all went away . Sometimes I wonder if it will return
I'd feel the same way. It's a vulnerable position. I hope u can pray and ask for help In whatever way you need.❤
Hello there. Just found you on here and will be looking forward to seeing more. Thanks for the info. I’m four years into my progression and still don’t have a for sure diagnosis. It appears to be ALS or PLS.
I'm so sorry. I try to focus on what I can still do.
Oh this is so good! You look beautiful and I'm glad you have the love and help♥️
Thank you😊
Thanks for the update, you look very pretty today.
Thank you
❤❤Love to Beth and Laura! Both looking great! #friendsarefriendsforever

Thanks for the love❤
Prayers 🙏🙏
God bless you. Thank you for sharing the uplifting ideas. My husband does most of the cooking now. It has been enjoyable when we prepare the meals together. Something new for us. Part of our new normal.
Yes doing it together is happening for us. Sometimes it's good and sometimes I can tell he's not liking all the prep😊
Hi Beth.. I thought I had commented on your first video but went back to look and it’s not there.. I’m currently waiting for a neurologist appointment and have been waiting a long time..both my primary doctor and rheumatologist are both putting out referrals and putting urgent..I’m am very certain of what the diagnosis will be,.I have had symptoms since December of last year and they have spread from spasms in my bottom lip to hands, then right shoulder atrophy and spasms in right arm then extreme right hand weakness,.some spasms are so strong they hurt, then also it’s so easy to pull muscles doing absolutely nothing,.now I have spasms in my esophagus when I eat and fatigue is bad but I also have lupus which is why I see a rheumatologist but she says these new symptoms are definitely not autoimmune and I agree. My question is how did you get into an ALS clinic and did you have to have a diagnosis to get in or did you just make yourself an appointment? I hope you see this and can help me, I’m loosing hope at seeing a neurologist any time soon and need to know what’s wrong with me 😢
Hey, there, thank you for telling me about your situation. I looked online and found the ALS association of Georgia and called them, and it got me in touch with their support group leader. The leader told me who the doctors were in my state who specialize in ALS, that run a multidisciplinary clinic, and I did not have to have a referral. I hope that helps.
@@bethbrock2797 thank you so much for responding,.my doctor called yesterday and I will be seeing a neurologist in December,.the 1st neurologist that took me called back and canceled my appointment because she said after reading my medical records I didn’t fall under her area of “expertise”,.they called me back later with a new neurologist and appointment with a neurologist that specializes in upper and lower motor neuron disorders,..😔 although I am happy to finally have an appointment I feel like this is one step closer to hearing what I fear most and in all honesty I’m terrified..
@@ronicalee3112 I'm so sorry. That is a long wait. Can you find your nearest ALS multidisciplinary clinic? Maybe you could get in sooner?
@@bethbrock2797 I’m not sure,.should I try that? I’m at a loss on what to do at this point
I just know that I called the ALS Association on my own, and they gave me the number and person's name for the nearest multidisciplinary clinic, and I called. I spoke to the clinic manager, and they got me in about 4-6 weeks later. I couldn't stand waiting around. A neurologist isn't enough unless they specialize in ALS.
Hi Beth. Thank you for the update. I am sorry that you have to be an ALS sufferer. It's so heart breaking and frightening. I will add you and your husband to my prayers. I hope speaking to us will help you. In turn you help others! God Bless. 🙏❤🙋🙏
Thank you for praying for me. I can feel that people's prayers help me by strengthening me emotionally ❤
