    Huge help to control excess saliva from bulbar ALS (Glycopyrrolate)

    About two years after receiving his ALS diagnosis, my dad started to experience excessive saliva. He had to clear his throat through coughing because it was difficult for him to spit. After trying Nuedexta, Amitriptyline, and several other prescription drugs, we found Glycopyrrolate to be by...

    MM and the VA

    Someone from my group contacted me today. He is a Vet and we have become friends. He wants to try medical marijuana but said the VA would not allow it, even if he gets a card and buys it from a dispensary here in Florida. Why?

    Medical marijuana

    Hi, I've been posting on here on and off since my brothers ALS diagnosis last July. He's only 40 and has a toddler and a new baby only 8 weeks old. We're all devastated and I've spent a lot of time researching treatments and therapies. His situation at the moment is that he's being given IVIG...

    Terrified about my progessing symptoms- muscle loss, spasms, tingling

    I have been pretty much paralyzed from fear ever since these symptoms started showing up and I could really use an opinion. I know this is very long and rambling, you will roll your eyes since my symptoms appear due to injury, not disease, but please hear me out. I cannot get the thought of...

    Trilogy cleaning & maintenance

    I've been in so much pain lately, I haven't started using my Trilogy. I have to start it today. I'm going to use the settings that we set up several months ago (when I got it). The RT was here last week and went through the instructions briefly. It has been plugged in. I know how to connect...

    Never thought I'd be posting here

    Florida is a backward State. There are so many drugs on the street and pill mills all over but our governor is terrified of MEDICAL MARIJUANA FOR TERMINALLY ILL PATIENTS. I can walk into my doctor's office and get morphine but no medical MJ even without the THC. In what world does this make...
