I pray many of those fighting the good fight are still here since I originally posted. Just an update on my brother. I originally posted my "Brother's Regimen" about 2 years ago. Wow how time fly's....anyway, he is not walking as well as he did in '09 but he still gets around on his own. And...

Ok, so I will try to be as clear as possible, since English is not my first language. Im from Chile and believe it or not we have quite some advancements in terms of trials and medical proceadures. My dad was diagnosed in august last year with ALS and as probably has been for all of you its a...

Unfortunately, my husband can no longer use the Rilutek, Lithium and Glycopyrrolate pills that were prescribed for him. We live in the Seattle area and hate like all get out to just throw these in the garbage. Any ideas? Leave message at (425) 248-7185 and I'll also check back for posts to...

[I]My dad was diagnosed with ALS 9/09. As a family, and in the denial stage we have been all over the internet looking for a cure or even hope. What I have found is the common link among long lifers is a possitive attitude. Lithium seems to work for some, and not for others. The same for...
