unfortunately no, i have to study for the SAT coming up in december =(
if you don't mind, could you please explain the presence of "excess saliva" in ALS patients? i am confused as to whether it refers to the buildup of saliva in the mouth due to difficulty swallowing or simply an abnormally high rate of saliva production? for the past couple of days i've noticed an increased flow of saliva in my mouth, which makes me swallow several times a minute because i feel like i might drool otherwise. it's really strange
and just today i've developed a horrible cramp in my left calf. the pain lasted about a couple of minutes and went away on its own. other than that, i've also noticed some tremor in my legs. i mentioned it to the doctor at my physical today but she didn't seem too concerned. :?:
sorry about the questions again, but i'll be staying on my toes for a while until i see the neurologist (and hopefully get to the bottom of things) on dec. 8.
thanks for all your help and happy thanksgiving!
