Hey yall, Love the positive posts lately altho I see the negativity. I went to the psych and doc the other day and I am now on b 12 shots and Magnesium 1,000 mg a day *crap city* but it helps. LOOK, some people on this site want the root of the problem (Krackersones) ME I DONT CARE, if its benign ok....I see people going UP and DOWN such as I did myself.I got told this week I have pre cancerous cells and a biopsy IS IN ORDER no CHIOICE, then I will donate my body to the cause.BFS HELL NO, Its benign...You can do all the biopsies spinal taps or whatever your doctor wants to charge you for but after your 10,000 EMG or MORE and your told its BENIGN ROLL WITH IT. Don't fall into the vicious let me use up my insurance and spend thousands chain like I DID and lose my husband and my family. Its benign, Im not spending my life savings to find the ROOT. SCREW IT. I am so tired of this board being blah blah blah..were ALIVE, WERE HEALTHY and our NERVES are DANG SURE firing healthy.Sorry if I come across *beep* but I THINK WE SHOULD ALL BE THANKFUL. I could find out I have cancer on the 25th or that week..thats REALISTIC not ALS....for me. I had it ruled out. I dont want pity, Pray for me if your a christian but get a grip ok. Maybe this is Gods way of saying "Hey, NEAR DEATH BUT NOT SO MUCH SO GO AND TELL SOMEONE HOW IT FEELS TO BE ALIVE AND BE THANKFUL.... This board needs to stay positive I've been here almost a year and the majority besides the past few days of the things i've read been B.S!!!!!!!!!!!Im tired of hearing, LET ME DONATE MY HEAD TO FIND OUT WHILE IM TWITCHING . How about ITS NOT KILLING ME, let me donate my extra money to ALS SITES to STOP and HELP CURE whats really happening to people besides us.On the OTHER HAND ROLLLLL TIDE!!!!!!!Keep up the good posts people and dont let these "let me find the cure of BFS get u down"..it WONT kill you, BE THANKFUL and PRAISE your FATHER ABOVE not the scientist or NUERO that gave you the NEWS. God passed your news down...not them;Lovely

Let me add to this by saying that I have learned a lot from this experience. Being in the middle of applying to medical school, this experience has made me much more sensitive to people and their fears. I hope, that one day as a doctor, when someone comes into my office with symptoms that scare the crap out of them, I'll be able to remember my experience and treat them with understanding care and compassion. And I agree with Dee Dee as well, that at this point I'll probably never know what caused this problem for me... but it's made me look towards the GREAT PHYSICIAN (God) even more than ever before. There are people who are suffering from diseases that WILL kill them, there are many more diseases besides als that could cut our lives shorter.I can still walk, talk, and type this message. I've never been promised my next breath, and could very well die in an accident tomorrow. So I'm going to make it a point to try not to worry and live for the day and choose to believe that God is ultimately in control.Alright.. I'm done

)Hugs to you and congrats to moving on and dont look back. We can make this promise together. As you said there is ONE PHYSICIAN and that is the GREAT PHYSICIAN above and only HE can heal and make our decisions he created us.Hugs to you. Good luck in Med school.I got stuck as a LPN in hospice but ya know what, I wouldnt trade it for the world.PM me any time . I love you positivity. God Bless and Again, ROLL TIDE 
ncguy,I am sure this experience will be invaluable to you as a doctor, med students should have BFS injected into there systems just to get a taste of it, this would save the health care industry billions of dollars a year, if a doctor will just talk to there patients with a little more understanding, alot of second and third opinions can be avoided. What field are you going into?Lovely, if you up for donating, below is the site that is on the way to finding a cure, I donated. It is an inspiring story, but warning, they do mention ALS.
