Many bulbar onset ALS people see a dentist first, complaining of their bite being off, jaw spasms, a lisp. Dentists can be trained to examine the tongue for fasiculations, ask questions. Advise pt to see PCP for neurology referral. Early dx is key. #EndALS #KICKALS #ADA #MND

Thank you Gus Bilirakis for being an ALS champion! Your vote for passage of #Act4ALS helped get promising drugs in bodies through Expanded Access. And thank you for funding at $75m in the 118th House. We must fund research for this 100% fatal disease.

Please Muhammad Yousaf do the right thing and honor the humanitarian assignment request. #ALS is 100% fatal. You had a history of sensitivity to families in crisis. My family benefitted from #USAF policies in the 1960's that allowed my cousin to be with family in his final months.

The ALS community appreciates your support. Veterans are 2-10x more likely to be dx with ALS. Please Rep. Brett Guthrie advocate FDA regulatory flexibility for promising #ALS treatments.on both drug and biologic sides of FDA.

I lost speech within 2 yrs of ALS dx. Today I listened to this podcast interview recorded 3 yrs ago, 5 wks after dx. Surreal to hear my voice again. I hope my grands can listen someday and know more about me. #EndALS #MND #KickALS tcpca.org/every-square-i…

Thank you Senator Dick Durbin for your compassionate leadership. Please keep ALS research funding at $40m for the CDMRP. We must support our Veterans who served us. ALS is 100% service related. Our Veterans deserve treatments and cures. #EndALS

In a 100% fatal disease like ALS, we must have regulatory flexibility from the FDA. We do not fit in a 10 year cycle of drug development, as we die too quickly. #ENDALS #KickALS

Thank you Mike Quigley for supporting funding for Act for ALS. You are a hero to the #ALS community for standing strong in the fight. We must discover treatments for this 100% fatal disease. #ENDALS Deb Paust Troy Fields Nicole Cimbura @lisamack238 Jill Brattain

G I'm grieving the horror of 9/11, and the lives lost Sect of Defense Lloyd Austin's words today resonate, "...amid the horror and grief...and with hearts breaking, Americans looked within themselves and felt called to give back." #EndALS #911Anniversary #NeverForget

It never gets easier. #ALS is brutal. Still 100% fatal. The ache is deep for the losses ALS brings. I so miss eating, speaking, walking, breathing. #EndALS

A wedding is coming! Any tips for navigating a mother-groom dance at the wedding reception when you have advanced ALS? For all the joy of the wedding celebration and the chosen song, I envision feeling somewhat awkward in those minutes. #ENDALS #MND #ALS

My husband and I watched this event. Learning from others who were living with tracheostomies gave me courage to have the surgery 5 monthe later. #ENDALS

Today we sold 2 of my bicycles. I cried. From a 5 year old balancing on 2 wheels, biking brought adventure and freedom. I biked to elementary school 4th -6th grades. As an adult, biked hundreds of miles in 15 states and 3 countries. I miss my active life. #EndALS #MND #adventure
