My 33 year old son has advanced Bulbar ALS.
He has also has a drug addiction to various drugs, Xanax, pain killers, for the past 15 years. He cannot cope with both the disease and the addiction, which makes it hard for him not to abuse his meds.
He has given up hope and wants to die even though he is still living alone and able to function.
When he abuses his valium and pain meds he falls, cannot eat, slurs worse, all symptoms get worse. He is taking Lexapro for depression. I don't know how to help him.
