****HELP! Please help! I am a recently-diagnosed ALS patient & the father of a family of four in SOUTHERN New Jersey (ZIP code 08065) near Philadelphia.
Already familiar w/the Italian LITHIUM trials, I am DESPERATELY trying to locate a doctor in my area willing to dispense LITHIUM for ALS (bulbar onset-speech, apparently familial). Thus far, I have spoken w/ FOUR area neurologists who say almost exactly the same thing:
"CAN I prescribe lithium? Yes. Will I? NO!"
All want to WAIT for MORE proof ... while the disease progresses.
Is there anyone out there kind enough to let us know of a reputable doctor in SOUTHERN NJ? Or in the geographic area? PLEASE respond if you have an answer.
Thank you!
