Hello to all,
My Father was diagnosed last Monday and it had been a very tough week for us all.
My Father is 54 and has always been a fit and healthy person and never smoked, eat well, drank socially and always went for a jog, played football and Golf so cannot understand how this has happened.
We think is symptoms began around July/August and is currently still walking and talking but his speech is slightly slurred and get tired quickly.
I am worried about the progression and I am keen to help him fight this. Unfortunately he was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma 3 years ago so I'm not sure what complications this may also add but as far as we know that is under control.
He is due to start on Riluzole next Thursday but I was hoping you kind people could advise me on your experiences with taking any other of the below and if it has helped you in any way:
Vitamin E
Magnesium Chloride
Fatty Acids
Coconut Oil
Protein Shakes
Any other tips you would have?
I have come across an video about a women which is interesting and would appreciate your thoughts on this also:

Thanks in advance and all the best to you all!
