A bit of background as you’ll probably wonder why I’m posting in an ALS forum:
31 year old male. Prior to all this I was an extremely fit, high-level competitive cyclist with few health concerns. At the end of Nov. 2015 I began to have severe gastrointestinal issue (severe cramping, LOUD...

Ok, so the VA messed up and the supplements he was to use in his feeding tube were not delivered, for over 3 weeks. I bought boost, but it didn't seem like it was enough. So I turned to the kitchen for help. I started making smoothies for the feeding tube, just to get calories in. I used...
I know this has been discussed before ALOT! For those of you interested what supplements are you taking?

Vitamin D 5,000 UI per day
B-12 (6mg sublingual. Waiting for Rx for injections)
Tumeric
EPA/DHA 2:1 ratio
1,200 mg magnesium daily

Hi,
Today I have started to believe that my mother might have ALS (still in a bit of denial). She has lost the ability to walk as he other leg is also affected now including the ability to easily turn sides. So far, she has problems in lower limbs only (somehow I am just hoping it will stay...

Hey guys! First I would like to tell you a little about myself. I am 23 with a background of horrible anxiety and know I am concerned about als. It all started with a normal twitch in my right arm then lasted all night. Next day it was in my leg, so of course Google confirmed my worst fears. It...
It seems the original thread from a couple of months back is already locked, so I start this new one just to tell that I've kept working on the wiki and also received help from others. The wiki now also contains TUDCA which was mentioned in the previous thread.

My PALS (bulbar palsy, PEG, no food or drink by mouth) got his Devilbiss suction machine a few months ago, tried it a couple of times and decided spitting was more efficient. He's been spitting/wiping ever since and struggling with thick, pasty phlegm however he can. We had the technician come...
I just recently turned 18 and female. I started college when I was 15 and everything was going good. I'm a junior now and I've been experiencing so many problems. It first started with an eye twitch which was persistent and never went away. A few months after I started getting uncontrollable...

Aside from my spasticity, my absolute main issue is soul destroying fatigue. Actually, I am at the stage where I could even handle increased spasticity if I had any sort of energy. I have tried increasing sleep, various dietary supplements, massive amounts of iv VitB, changing my diet, increased...
