    Radicava experiences

    I started a month after diagnosis. It worked very well at the start, I kept full mobility for two years and 3 months. And I have Bulbar onset ALS so that is a good 4 or 5 months of extra life for me.

    Radicava patients - any advice on going through another Prior Authorization to extend it again?

    I have been on it for two years and I see my insurance company is paying about $400 out of the $15,000 charge. I would be surprised if anyone's insurance is paying 100% of any Radakava bill.

    Edaravone study

    I have been taking both for about 18 months and lacking good solid data is the only the fact that I have been fully mobile for over 2 years I think it has made a difference
