    saw on one of your posts you use Miralax or rec. it, as it doesn't cause the cramping,as most others do. was wondering, as the directions say 1 wk use only, if you abide by that, or take more often. used it yest. & it made everything wonderful --------if that's even possible. but have such...

    CVID tests and treatments may help ALS

    took IVIG tratments for possible multifocal motor neuron dis. which would respond favorably to these treatments. no improvement. may as well been injecting water (which it looks like). the atrophy, fasciculations and functional deterioration chugged along, relentlessly. subsequent diagnosis...

    To those with ALS, what do you think was the cause?

    i feel mine is of hereditay derivation . my grndmother had it. but why did it skip a whole generation. my sister didn't get it. will my children ? or will it skip a gen. should go get the SOD blood work done for hereditary proof i guess.

    do you know exactly where that ALS loan closet is located? Port Orange is about 5mi south of Daytona Beach. Tampa is too far for me to go to see a neuro. Even Orlando's overa hr from me. since there's really no good meds or a cure i figure the neuros for diagnoses then thats it. what else...

    What's next in the progression?

    What's next in the progression?

    my hope i s diminishing to almost none as time goes by. for all the people, friends, prayer groups & chains ---- i cont to get worse, weaker and closer to death. have spoken to sequoia,a nun, i believe, and have eavesdropped into the christian sites.............r the prayers all for naught...

    What's next in the progression?

    i know that no 2 people progress in the same way or even similar way but..... if you lose use of your legs first, then the weakness progresses and goes up your torso and involves loss of core muscles (is about 1/2 way up torso presently), then the right hand, would it be possible for the...

    so god didn't give us this horrid disease, and all of the prayers are not for stopping its progression, or a healing but to give us the strength to deal with it until we all inevitably die from it. most of the people on this site arent on it anymore and i just joined last jan. because i have...

    Weakness again.....

    i know that everyone progresses at a different rate, that no two cases of ALS follow the same pattern of loss, but what i'd like to find out, is if you have lower motor neuron loss in both lower extremities as a starting point, then it goes up the trunk thru the core muscles and into right hand...
