we had to get a dietician referral from Primary care Dr. They ship us syringes, gauze & jevity monthly.

yes, start using it now to get used to it if nothing else. They say it rests the diaphragm

joel is correct in post above. Al may have some new info. I am unaware of. can you PM me for cost and Dr. contact? We did eventually recover most of the cost from our insurance but it took months and an attorney.

you have to be able to pass a "sniff test" in order to be eligiable for the DPS. It checks that your diaphram is still able to be stimulated. we did one local & had to repeat at Atlnata hospital the day prior to DPS install. You stand by a screen and they view diaphragm while you inhale (sniff)...

we had infections at the suture sites around the PEG hole. we just used q-tips & alcohol or hyd. peroxide to clean it up. We squished them up under the circular plastis peg guard deal. Is the actual peg hole infected in your case?

when it comes time for my wife to need one I would get a Rx from the Dr., and call the wheelchair vendor, thats what they get commissions for. They could order it & install it, if complicted

we tried to have the PEG installed today as outpatient, but the Dr. couldnt see the light shining thru her skin, nor would the neddles penetrate my wife. Wasted day and a little pain. Now we have to have a surgeon do it the hard way. C & C

This should pave the way for researchers to begin follow-up studies on the Parkinson's treatments and open up new opportunities to realize an immunization approach for other neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease)."

Re: Financial Disclosures It seems a bit high to me, too. We live in Florida and the cost of living is a bit lower than where the ASLTDI people live

any idea why the toto is twice as expensive as the bio-bidet or intimist? so they can make more profit ! we got the bio, especially because we needed NOT white, whish is even more with the TOTO

I seem to be my wifes medical organizer. Her GP refuses to make any decisions on anything at all related to ALS. The pulmonary Dr. is the majority of our Dr. visits. We found him and a gastro on our own, locally. Her ALS clinic is too far away, we rarely go.
