    International Division of Grief

    The good memories of my boyfriend are something I cherish, his weaknesses and quirks are something to chuckle about with friends. I'm a happy and pretty much trigger-free widow. Except when one of our PALS here takes leave. That always pulls the rug from under me and I howl like a hound. I...

    Ventilators and Essential Oils?

    My nose is pretty much always stuffy. Whether from allergies or winter, I don't know. I thought of essential oils and got a bottle containing a mix of 5 oils supposedly good for clearing sinuses. But as I'm on a Trilogy 24/7, NIV, how best to use them? I had my wife stuff a bit of paper...

    Curious and scared of ALS.

    For about two weeks I’ve had twitching in my left, right legs and arms. Also have had twitching under my ribs. My right leg has also been tight lattely. It’s natural to be scared, cause I’ve read about ALS just a few days ago, and I’m curious how it can be, or not be ALS. I also have a list of...

    Why do so many doctors seem unaware of connection between foot drop. and ALS?

    This is a question recently posed by another member in another thread. I thought it would be an excellent question for discussion, so I decided to open a new thread so we could get different perspectives. I am coming at this both as a PALS who presented with foot drop and also as a physician...

    Unnatural attraction to animals - on Netflix

I have searched through the drug sheets on Baclofen, Edaravone and Riluzole and it mentions nothing about this debilitating adverse affect. I first noticed it a few weeks ago. I decided to...
