i just read the lithium study
i talked to the nurse practicioner at my neurologist office yesterday...she said she hadn't seen any of the studies and would not prescribe the lithium, but she promised me she would research and get back to me. she was totally sceptical about getting involved because of the minocycline deal where it accelerated the als instead of slowing
it down, and she says the lithium has to have a good track record before they would prescribe, blah blah blah blah blah!
i have sent a bunch of info to my gp who is very thorough and i know she will get back to me real soon, she was amazed as i am her first female patient with als, which i think makes her more interested.
i will know more when i go the u va for my clinical appt on wednesday, but i am thinking
it is time to find new neurologist, i hate dealing with doc-want-to-bes (nurse practicioners) anyway, and after i was diagnosed my neurologist turned me over to her
as if he was done with me.
sorry for rambling! thanks to anyone who read this, guess i needed to blow off steam!
