I'll give a brief story. It started with her speech, wasn't bad, but you could just tell it was different...

    Dizzy

    Tom is still complaining of dizziness. The only medication he is on is Rilutek, but he smokes like a chimney and drinks beer like a fish out of water. (Not as much as he used to, but still more than a casual drinker would) So-- I don't want to assume that he is dizzy from smoking with less...

    Foul Smell?

    Dad in hospital! Ideas?

    I just heard from my mother and sisters that Dad is in their local hospital's ER. There was blood coming out of his PEG, at least 1000ccs. Mom had said that Dad was very lethargic the last day or two so now I realize this must have been because Dad was bleeding internally. Tests run so far...

    Well, finally we have diagnosed of PLS. No surprise here but I guess when you finally hear it and its reality it is a bit of a shock to the system. My husband got the diagnosed on Jan 13. The doctor is going to put him on Rilutek b/c his progression has been insanely fast since May of last year...

    Big Mike are you still out there?

    Hi Big Mike, trying to get in touch with you. I read a post that you had replied to my posting from a month ago. Are you still taking all your supplements, are they helping? How has your progression been? My mom is the one that I wrote to you about, that is on several supplements and she has...
