Hello,
My mom was diagnosed with ALS in Oct 2008. It has spread through her lower limbs pretty quickly and I believe the bulbar onset is slowly taking its course as well. For the past two months, she has been coughing pretty consistently. She did catch a cold couple of months back and was coughing for a while, but it had gone away for a week or two before it came back again. I took her to the ALS clinic yesterday for her regular appointment in Toronto and the Respitology Doctor just told her to take Robitussin MD.
Was regular coughing over a long period also experienced by any other PALS? Were there any remedies available to make the coughing subside?
Thanks,
Sohail
