Hello to ALS forum - I have a father who's been developing symptoms of what we (and our specialist doctor) believe of pseudo bulbar affect
about two years ago, and now it's been developed where rest of our family is nearly traumatized. His laugh is uncontrollable and even he knows it well.
We've been meeting doctos, neurologist specialist within Toronto - taken this test and that, tried one type of medication after one another..
We couldn't see an improvement at all, which is scary... as if there is no hope in recovery or at least getting better than where he is at the moment.
With such symptom, my parents are limited with what they can do their boundaries.
They cannot even go volunteer in local church that they served for such long time - it's making their life so dry.
I have heard of this medication called Nuedexta a while ago (which is not available in Canada at the store front unfortunately),
but we couldn't try even compounding since our specialist wanted us to hold on to such medication.
However, with current situation where we are not seeing improvement with father, I believe it might be better for us to start investigating for compounding within Toronto.
But I'm interested in stories. Have any of you've been successful with such medication - compounded or not?
Have you went side effects?
Desperate one needs and looking for answer. Thanks! God bless you all!
