Up front i thank anyone who patiently reads emails like mine. I had breast cancer(5 years cancer free double mastectomy) and remember looking for help and generous folks pitched in and provided support. So thank you.

I really don't think this is likely related to my ALS degeneration (which seems to be accelerating in my right arm and in leg pain), but since I have recently started the Riluzole maybe it is a side effect.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Max
