My journey with ALS

March 2025 – 4th Week

Been dealing with all the issues. Had a meeting with Dr. Choi at NYU to go over the breathing machine that showed up pretty quickly. He gave me a bit more information about the device and asked me to start using it twice a day. Have to be honest, I have used it only a couple of times. It is supposed to help you cough, but it seems that when I start laughing, that triggers a deep cough.

I will start using it on a regular basis. I do have a follow up appointment with him at the end of May – gotta love all these doctor appointments!

I am still having speaking issues, and am working out every morning. Not sure it is helping, but who cares. It reminds me of my young days when I worked out every day.
