    Neudexta

    Hi all, Curious to know what kind of positive effect Neudexta may have on speech issues? Does it make it any better? Just holds off progression? I don't have PBA, and swallowing isn't too bad. It's movement of the tongue when eating and speaking that's the worst of it. I asked my dr. and...

    Alternate for Neudexta?

    This was brought up in the thread re: B12 shots, and I didn't want to hijack the thread further. In that thread, we discovered 3 Canadians (myself, Trixi80 and Gorby) all seem to be seeing the same neuro- who is quite conservative in offering treatments and options. Neudexta was brought up...

    Neudexta

    My PALS was prescribed neudexta. He doesn't have a feeding tube yet, but has some difficulty swallowing pills. I forgot to ask doc if the capsule could be opened and incorporated into pudding or applesauce. Does anyone know?

    Terminal Wean from Ventilator

    Clinic last Wednesday

    The dreaded clinic was a real POA (pain in the ass). No big changes, the RT has put me on BiPap, which I will receive next week. My legs and left arm shows more spasticity, so they started me on baclofen. Voice has gotten worse, she wants me to up my Neudexta to 2 times a day, I have been...

(First neurologist diagnosed bulbar-onset ALS in April 2013, sent him for EMG and 2nd opinion with ALS clinic...

    Any diagnosed have this much uncertainty at first?

    I am wondering if anyone has experienced symptoms developing along these lines, because my husband seems an enigma to the 3 neurologists who are passing him around. A year and a half ago, my husband's speech became notably slurred. I had noticed a tremor in his hand and occasional slurring a...

    1st clinic visit

    FVC=69. Peg tube suggested. I've been taking Neudexta for a week and it has really improved my swallowing-too bad its not FDA approved for that-insurance wont pay for it. Bulbar and left arm involvement so far. Tongue a little weak. Was told to stay away from milk because of phlegm production...
