For the past two weeks, I have had fasisculations, starting in my calves, spreading to the rest of my body. They seem to jump from area to area, except for being constant and very visible in my calves. The fascics have quieted down a bit in terms of intensity, but both of my legs are really...
I was looking at things like mitochondria and atp production and found this:

HI Guys,
I wanted to share that I've had success with a treatment that i've made for my dad's recurring candida on his skin. Due to kidney problems and age he's always got something going on under his arms and in his groin area. He is incontinent and the diaper doesn't help!
I don't care for...

I walk with the aid of a rollator due to spasticity and now I am experiencing hand weakness
and a bit of slowness when talking. My question is; when bulbar symptoms increase am I

For about 4-6 years, I have always had pretty intense muscle twitches and never payed too much attention to them. I always attributed them to dehydration after consuming alcohol or over working a muscle. About a year ago I started experiencing pains in my chest. I went to the emergency room and...
Things have gotten back to normal for us around here. DH is back in his routine and is feeling good again. His HR is a little high but not like it was, and his fatigue and weakness is "normal" instead of extreme. He is back on his anti depressants and that has lifted his mood and made...
