Hi Judith Ann,
I go to Barrows Neurological Center ALS clinic. It is at St Joseph's Hospital. You came a long way for clinic. Do they not have an ALS clinic in your hometown? Did you enjoy your visit here?

Judy,
sorry to bother you. I noticed you live in Arkansas too. If you don't mind my asking, I was wondering what neurologist you go to. Is that where you got your diagnosis? I have been to two different neurologists in Little Rock and am still trying to find out what is going on with me. Thanks.

Like acupuncture you mean? I've never tried it but others say it helps them. I have a good friend that practices many tecniques that I'll be fisiting sometime this month. I'll let you know how it goes. How are you doing Dear One?
Yes, I do....I think the early you start the better, as once the motor neurons die there isnt much you can do.
I had acupuncture and I believe it slowed the progression some. Check out David's blog He went to China but you will have to go back a ways in his blogs because he has been home now for some time.

Hi! I started with muscle cramps in my feet and legs that progressed to foot drop on the right. I see that you're from Arkansas. My family is from the Evening Shade area. We spent two years at Ft Bliss, TX and had an opportunity to travel westward. I loved the high desert and Arizona was a favorite place to visit.
Hi there Linda...so glad you had a good birthday! My daughters live in Mesa. I know where Ahwatukee is...not too far from Mesa! The girls are native to Arkansas...are both RN's...the pay is much better for this in Arizona and came for jobs and stayed! They love Arizona. I was raised in san Diego.
