Check!!! Your fucking move @US_FDA
I hoped for #drugsinmybody I feel like that it was just another letdown in my journey I am fucking tired of being the fool I should have known better You can't beat the fucking "MAN" I want my final wish to be Take my dead body and dump it at the front of the @US_FDA
For the last few months I have let bitterness and anger control my soul Bitter at people who I thought would be there for me And sadly showed me to be wrong I have been struggling with this and the reality of my situation Shit got real when I had to get a trach (1/2)
I think that I might need some professional help.
I have fallen off the ALS wagon and crawled back in the black hole of depression It gets harder and harder to claw my way out I go right back to isolation mode. I don't want to be that person But it is really hard not to in a facility I am going to try to stay out of my head
First time having my eyes dilated since I had the Tobii PSA: Plan on not being able to use it for a while. S/N I have to have 2 shots in my left eye IN MY FREAKING EYE
I would like to know the thought process behind the @US_FDA decision to postpone the decision on AMX0035. It's baffling that a drug already approved and an OTC medicine needs this much thought. I smell BULLSHIT We can't even blame the @alsassociation for this one
As I lay here breathing out of my neck and trying to not drown in my own saliva I can't help but wonder what #Nurown could do for me I will probably never find out thanks to the @alsassociation and the @US_FDA Here's a big fat F&%k You from my heart to yours!!
I wish that I could get my mojo back. It's really frustrating having to fight for everything you should be entitled to. Medicine, Treatments, sufficient health care. I mean why should I have to fight all of that while fighting for my life @US_FDA Can you please answer that for me
I know that we have made progress but when should we expect to see some benefits I feel like that I have been a part of a giant smoke and mirror show I could use any and all suggestions. I can't say that I have heard about any action taken
I am really tired of reading the same narrative about ALS time and time again I know that we as a community has done more for ALS than a lifetime of those before us Yet we are still no where near a treatment or drug I just wanted to at least try something before I go @US_FDA
Apparently people like you and me don't matter to the @US_FDA I have yet to see anything that resembles compassion or common decency. As doctors they took a sworn oath to do everything in their power to help people like you and me. #Hypocrisy #drugsinbodies #NurownWorks
Having trouble with my Tobii the past few days
Spoken like a true champion!!
Maybe the @US_FDA should look at the 6000 flags and be made to read the names of each and every one of the people that they are denying access to I wish someone would take them to the doorstep of the FDA building.
If you can't get behind this then you might as well pull the f&@kin trigger yourself @US_FDA & @alsassociation
If you can't get behind this then you might as well pull the f&@kin trigger yourself @US_FDA & @alsassociation
OK people I kinda went into a dark place for a while I am slowly trying to make my way out I don't really know where I am getting my strength from right now I've been in a downward spiral for what seems like forever I am ready to pick up my ALS sword again @US_FDA BEWARE
I feel like I've lost control of everything. I've never been this closed off. Every time I try to open up I shut down. I know that it's necessary to talk it out, but I can't even get the balls to be honest with myself . I'm losing hope.
I was chatting with someone recently diagnosed with #ALS. Her doctors gave her hope about the promising drugs in the pipeline. My doctor told me nearly the same thing 2.5 years ago. We're overloaded with hope & desperate for action, @DrCaliff_FDA. Please prioritize ALS.🙏 #NurOwn

@WayneStephens77 @US_FDA Ben, are you still out there ? I think about you.
@WayneStephens77 @US_FDA Hi Ben, hope you are alright. I have been supporting my daughter thru her struggles and have come up for air. Going thru twitter , I didn’t see any recent posts from you. I know it’s been hard for you.
@WayneStephens77 @US_FDA This f’ disease always wins. It’s heartbreaking. And it’s so hard for me to see as a pALS advocacy that puts lipstick on a pig and gives false hope. Enrages me. I’m sorry we’ve been stricken by this demon. The only treatment is not getting it in first place sadly. 💔
@WayneStephens77 Don’t feel bad I’ve gone from a life loving guy to a 24/7 bitter angry devastated soul cuz ALS 💔👨👦 and nothing has been done in 150 yrs and like a few top MDs admit another 30yrs if at all. So y’a Im F bitter. You won’t get lipstick on pig from me. I feel for you.
@WayneStephens77 @alsassociation @US_FDA You tell them man! We need less lipstick on a pig approach and more vocal and real like you. F all done in 150 yrs and counting. Shameful.
@LisaMar17763916 @Ml1969 @WayneStephens77 @US_FDA @alsassociation Sadly so true
@WayneStephens77 @US_FDA Cuz as yiure friend said follow the money and als is so rare relative to others bare anyone gives a shit. What pALS go through is disgusting. Before becoming a pALS I would have never believed such a horrific situation on all front could exist until I saw ALS F’ beast & apathy
@WayneStephens77 @US_FDA Finally s/one who doesn’t put 💄on a 🐷 and who doesn’t spew ungrounded positivity. I’ve researched ALS inside out. Must look past fund raising PR. We’re nowhere. Some top MDs gingerly admit we’re 30yrs away if at all. 💔but true.No real💰masses don’t care🥲
@barbara_epstein @WayneStephens77 @US_FDA Brutal reality for 150 yrs and with public apathy and paltry research funding reality is more decades of same sh*t will continue, yes maybe with drugs that give 3m yet we’re all so desperate that they call them groundbreaking and we believe it!
Why does half the battle with ALS feel like just proving you matter, explaining why your life is worthy and convincing others to give a damn while your body shuts down? Sometimes, I can't tell what is worse: the disease or lack of empathy?
I wish I could go back to my dreams, because I'm free. Free from this wheelchair, free from this feeding tube, free to be the wife and mother I'm supposed to be, free from #ALS. I'm 36 years old, I deserve better than death. @DrCaliff_FDA @FDACBER #AMX0035 #EveryPointMatters
@LisaMar17763916 @WayneStephens77 Both of you, IMO, are badasses 🙌
@WayneStephens77 You’ve every right to feel this way. Don’t feel guilty for it either. Be authentic and be true to you. I get how you feel as I’ve been feeling the same - so letdown by people I cherish. It hurts. Your #ALS tribe is here for you today and everyday.
People, do better by your friends and family who are living with #ALS. It’s a lonely disease. If it were cancer, you’d fall all over yourself to help. #ittakesavillage #EndALS @WayneStephens77
For the last few months I have let bitterness and anger control my soul Bitter at people who I thought would be there for me And sadly showed me to be wrong I have been struggling with this and the reality of my situation Shit got real when I had to get a trach (1/2)
