My husband has been diagnosed with ALS. I need some opinions about this disease.
He is currently drinking creatine and protein drinks. It seems to help him. Do other vitamins work or not work?
His legs are strong but he has extensive loss in his arms and shoulders.
We are waiting for the insurance company to tell us the price of the drug. According to our doctor it should run $700 with out portion being 20%. I did ask about Lithium. He didn't say whether he will prescribe it. Can we get this from any doctor?
We also applied for SSDI but no word yet. Any idea on how long it takes? My husband is no longer working so we have no money coming in.
We are also curious about clinic trials. we are on a list at the hospital. I guess I'm not patient.
I will stick with him throughout this illness, no matter which road it takes us down.
