    Exercise and ALS

    My first post, a combination of who I am and my thoughts on exercise and ALS. I had my first bad EMG last January, 10 days after a marathon. I was formally diagnosed in April and continued to run about 45 miles a week through June. Late June I ran what could be my last marathon, my balance...

    Rilutek & Pregnancy

    Hello, My husband was diagnosed with ALS in February 2011. He is 35, I am 32. Recently we've been talking about the possibility of having a baby. Crazy idea, right? I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about the effect of Rilutek, if any, during conception and pregnancy & if there would be...

    Fibro, 3xEMG=mild C6/7, -0 Vit. D, Raynaud's Feet and sudden Wasted Hand(s)

    I was under the notion that going in for a spinal tap would lead to a definitive Dx. After reading here awhile I'm afraid I may be laboring under a misconception. I have small, symmetrical lesions on the outer cord at C2/3 per MRI (not reflected on EMG). Upper unilateral EMG has long since...

    Hi, This another one of those posts; first of all bear with me (and I thank you dearly for it) as I've read quite a lot of topics in this forum and I'd like an answer for my doubts; I am mainly asking since goggling gives either unreliable sources or mixed results. But first of all I'd like...

    Why ALS drugs tested on mice won't work on PALS.

    Found this very interesting post by someone at ALS-TDI Forums and wanted to share it so we can better understand the stagnation on ALS Research on finding a drug to cure this disease or, at least to stop its progression. The reason, the failed approach of testing drugs on mice instead on PALS...

    Question about Nuedexta

    I might need to contact my Dr but thought I would ask here first. I take many medications through my feeding tube, but Nuedexta is prescribed 2 per day by mouth. Each day it is becoming more difficult to take meds via mouth...my tongue seems to be too thick and pills are always sticking to it...

    I urge every patient to help us get this risk/benefit issue revisited by tyou do not
