Dr. Cudkowicz is also connecting me with the ALS Research Collaborative (ARC) study, and I’ll see her again in six months. Grateful for her care and the opportunity to help move research forward. Next up blood labs for neurofilaments. 💙 #myalsjourney #ALSResearch #medicalmystery

In case nobody told you yet...

It hurts - I believe you
It's not "just tired" - I believe you
It feels terrible - I believe you
The "nice guy/girl" hurts you - I believe you

I don't have to see your struggle to believe you. You're not alone.
