Hello, I am a good friend and assistant to a man with ALS. (2007) He is experiencing the saliva issues which leads me to the question. How do you deal with your swallowing? He does have a vent, though recent, saliva is always an issue. Meds make his mouth to dry, yes we have a suction machine, but I am looking for answers from some of you who I know have or are dealing with this same problem.
He has had botox injections in the neck, tried multiple meds. We are aware that everyone is and can be different. What works for you? What didn't work for you? That will help us, thanks.
Also, he is looking for a good neck brace that will work with his vent. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you.
