I am new to this site and would love to see how other members are coping. My husband was diagnosed with ALS last year, even though he had symptoms for about 4 years. He has lost practically all the muscles in his legs and can barely move around now. The weakness is also in his arms back and chest areas. Has anyone experienced a slow-down in their symptoms at any point of having this illness? His started out slowly and progressed slowly, at first, but now it seems to be coming on stronger.
My husband is trying different vitamins and I am wondering if someone has found a vitamin and diet regimen that really works for them. We have cut out dairy products from his diet, wheat, corn, all breads and pastas...does anyone have any idea if these are good or bad for ALS?
Did anyone have to make structural changes to their home? we have a 2-storey and the stairs are a challenge, any ideas would be helpful.
Another thing, how could he get out of the house efficiently to the car, for social activites or for apointments? This year we have hardly been out because it is such a problem. Does anyone have any ideas about passing the time constructively with this illness? Your ideas will be appreciated, Elo
