saliva

Hi all, firstly I have read the sticky in this section, but I just have a few brief questions. I'd like to thank anyone who takes the time to read this in advance, as I'm letting these concerns get the better of me. I'm a 22 year old male, living in Ireland. In the past summer I lived abroad...

Hi all, My sister-in-law (my brother's wife) is in the last stages of bulbar ALS -- only a bit of movement possible in fingertips and lower legs. She can still talk, but my brother can interpret only about half of what she says. She coughs and chokes on her saliva many times during the day. Her...

Hello everyone. I received a provisional diagnosis of ALS yesterday and a label of "probable ALS." My symptoms are in my speech/swallow area and my dominant left hand. I was wondering how others with bulbar problems manage swallowing pills. I aspirate frequently on liquids/saliva, and...

Hi everyone - I am reluctantly posting again after doing my best to stay away from this website. I stayed away for the most part since my last thread but have glanced every now and then. I am back to say that I know not all is well. I am twitching everywhere and my symptoms regarding bulbar...

In the morning I get a lot of clear mucus which comes out of my nose. I have trouble blowing my nose because of weakness. We have a baby nose sucker-upper, but it's useless and doesn't work. So I had this bright idea that maybe I can use my saliva suction machine on my nose mucus. Is this a...
