Hello, I am new this forum and I was just diagnosed with ALS. I have been on Rilutek for just over a week now. I am not seeing any slow down in the disease. Is it normal for Rilutek to take time to work or should it start working immediately? I am trying to figure out if the medication is working or not. Is there anyone they can give me some advice as to what the vitamin supplements I should be using? I have started with vitamin E. and vitamin Co Q-10.
I have been devastated since the diagnosis and with the failing of my muscles find it difficult to find anything bright to think about these days. I would like to find out how others can cope with this illness? I’m trying to think of the positive things in my life and with the help of my family I think I can get back to a happier time. I need to find someone that can give me some advice. Please feel free to let me know anything and everything that you have to say on the subject of having ALS. God bless you and thank you for responding to my post.
