    Peg Pain

    Oh how I wish I could have the good pain meds. In my past have had issues with codeine, dilaudid, and recently with the peg surgery liquid hydrocodone. When I take these I have esophageal spasms and can't breathe. I've always said I'm allergic to codeine and dilaudid but it looks to be more...

    Peg Pain

    I'm a week into having the peg put in...this has been absolute hell. The Drs waited until I reached a certain weight when I think they should have been watching the strength of my core muscles. I am staying so drugged to just deal with it all. The dr increased my gabapentin and baclofen to help...

    ALS CLinic SW Louisiana

    In my case it was waiting for all of the tests(lumbar puncture and labs) to come back. My EMG didn't return strong enough data that was suggestive of ALS at the time. So this may not be the case with your wife, I'm not sure. I was able to return two weeks afterwards for results and meeting with...
