Hello dear friends,
Had a fellow come out to our house today to "sell us" on something called MaxGXL. What's weird is, he was my rep who delivered my cpap machine almost 5 yrs ago!
Now, I hope you all will be proud of me.
He sat down and explained how traditional drs couldn't HEAL ALS...
Hi all,
Went to the UofU infectious diseases today. The first doc did the cursory physical exam (strength test, reflexes, eyes, ears, throat, etc), then just wanted to talk, and listen, and take notes. He took our blood tests and the readings (explanations) from our MRI's and said he was going...

I was wondering if anyone can provide any leads on Rilutek and its impact on male fertility.
The only studies I come across are about male and female rats (and impaired fertility) but no definite data on humans. Thanks.
Hi All,
I am 36 years old with a partner who is 41 and has been diagnosed with ALS (upper limb onset) two weeks ago. He noticed weakness in left hand while playing bass approx 1 year ago and after a series of tests over the oncoming months he was officially diagnosed at the specialist ALS...
Hi guys,
I'm preparing some slides for the ALS/MND Symposium in Birmingham on use of the internet by PALS and I'm trying to get some data on the different forums that are out there. According to the site stats at the bottom of the screen there are 7,000 members here but when I go through the...
Hi all,
Just a quick note to say we've recently added a new feature for patients with PLS. Previously if you joined the ALS/PMA/PLS community and had PLS you didn't get the percentile curve backdrops that the ALS patients had. I'm pleased to say that now that we have 150+ PLS members we have...
Hi everyone,

My diagnosis of limb onset ALS came in July and it is progressing alarming quickly. I won't go into my physical details because all of you know only too well what...
