Hello again
Firstly I apologise for posting again but it has been several months since I last posted, the thread now being closed, and my symptoms continue to progress and leave me extremely worried.
Since my last post I have had an MRI scan of my lower back which did not show any current nerve...
I ran across an article recently that said Neudexta may improve swallowing, excess salivation, and even speech. Has anyone taken Neudexta and experienced improvement in speech?
I did a search and found one post that mentioned alleviation of drooling and improved swallowing but did not...
Is Radicava turning out to be one of the biggest FDA Boondoggles ever? I am being hammered with phone calls and emails to sign up for this drug. My doctor believes there is not enough information yet. It seems strange to me the approval and distribution of this drug is based on an Asian study of...
I have a working diagnosis of PLS. I’m aware of the statistics. So far two clean EMGs.

I had sought guidance in June and received helpful feedback. I have an update and would appreciate any thoughts.
I am a 65-year-old male. In mid-2016, I started to have swallowing issues with food occasionally stuck in my throat. I also started to have intermittent issues where my speech...
I'll get to the update. The VitalityALS phase three trial ended or all participants and trials in October. All reports and data were due for submission.
They now think it will be March before publication.
The goal of continued good breathing numbers is holding steady. My FVC and SVC numbers...
