A few weeks ago, my husband started feeling really weary and tired most of the time.
Let me backtrack. He is taking medication for high blood pressure, diabetes, anti inflamitories, lasix for leg swelling, riloteck, got a steroid shot in his right knee, and is also taking some herbal medicine one in particular is turmeric.
He has a slow progressive ALS diagnosis, he is pretty much paralyzed on his left side. Says he feels weaker everywhere. He cannot seem to stay awake during the day, but cannot sleep comfortably at night (back hurts).
My question is: is this a new direction in his disease or is it something else. He can't do any physical exercise anymore and can't walk or stand for more than 5 minutes.
Would appreciate any help
