Hi Everyone,
I am new here, this is my first actual post as my father was just giving the diagnosis we dreaded..... he has PMA and the doctor said it will eventually become ALS, right now he is only having symptons of the Lower motor neurons center. He had tons of tests, scans and they have been working on trying to the bottem of his symptons since Janurary. My Dad has OCD and is very set in his ways, always taking tons of medications and vitamins.
I have been exploring your posts and trying to educate myself on what he can do to keep the progression slow if possible. I love that you do try to keep such a positive feel on the forum, thanks for that it helps make it a bit easier.
My question is do any of you have any suggestions, he has been obsessed for years about his cholestrol, also taking tons of meds and statins, I have asked him to please give them up... I see many of you say you did or it was recommended, can you tell me if he should try to eliminate some of the drugs he takes: statins, ashma meds, fish oil and more...... any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Hoping to do what we can to keep things processing slow as possible.
Thanks
