    Vitamin D

    I have not been diagnosed with ALS but as soon as my neurological symptoms began I was advised by the Neuro to start taking Vit D daily along with B complex and folic acid.

    Alcohol and tobacco, makes ALS worse?

    I have read that smoking increases the risk of ALS but who knows what kind of study that came from. I agree with the majority that things should be done in moderation. If you are continually getting lung, throat or sinus infections or have trouble breathing you may want to change your habits...

    Anyone been involved in a sleep study

    Thanks Alex..as I mentioned previously I feel less and less that my problems are due to ALS, I just don't fit the common progression...at this point I feel I am more likely to be suffering from anything but..I also know that many of the PALS here have been through similar situations and have a...

    Anyone been involved in a sleep study

    Hey Lydia, Thanks for sharing. I am due to see a movement specialist (neurologist) at some point, haven't had a call since the referral. I was already told by a local Neuro that I didn't have Huntinton's ,Parkinsons nor did she "think" I have MS. That was very early on. She blamed my...

    Hopefully you are able to find something that helps him sleep Pepper. I know for me not sleeping has affected me in many ways. It can make me irritable, cause a lack of concentration among other negative things. My best to you both :)

I am not currently on any medication, I was on Steroids in the begining, antiseizure meds and a couple of months ago my doctor had me try Lyrica but I wasn't comfortable taking something that they weren't sure how it worked when I didn't even yet know what was wrong...
