Hello, my name is Victoria and my favorite uncle was just diagnosed in Boston with a variant of ALS. He is 71 years old and started having trouble with shortness of breath back in March. First they thought it was his heart, that checked out fine, then they thought it was a gastro issue and finally last week they decided to check neurological and that's when the diagnosis of a variant of ALS was given. Tests are still coming in and no course of tratment has yet been discussed. I have already told him to take all the amalgalm out of his mouth, to eat organic and get whey protein since he has lost a lot of weight and his limbs are especially thin. I need advice on therapies both medicinal and physical as we are just starting to navigate the web and find out more about the illness. I also bought the book Eric is Winning for him.
Thank you all in advance for helping out.
